Auto-hidden Kicker won't unide

My Kicker, which is set to Auto-hide, has suddenly, and for no apearent reason, stoped unhiding when I move my mouse to the bottom edge of the screen.

The kicker is still running, and can be brought up with the ALT+F1 shortcut or the "Raise when the pointer touches the screen's: [Top Left Corner]" option.

I have shutdown and restarted, to no effect.

Help, please!

Press Alt+F2, type in "kcontrol", go to Desktop -> Panels and reset the position and hiding of the panel.

No help. I set it to auto-hide, it goes away, and it doesn't come back when my mouse touches the bottom edge of the screen.

Um, this is still broken.

When my Kicker auto-hides, it will not reappear from the mouse being moved against the edge of the screen. All other functionality, including un-hiding from the mouse being moved to the corner, hiding and unhiding with the panel-hide buttons, or bringing up the kicker with the Alt-F1 shortcut, works fine. It's as if, once the panel has moved completely off-screen, it forgets to monitor whether my mouse has moved against that edge of the screen...

Help!

Hi,

Similar problem as yours. If somebody have an idea...

I use KDE 3.5.4.

Thanks

Ok, try "dcop kicker kicker restart" on a command line (started with ALT+F2). It works fine for me.

No joy. Any idea of cause? And what exactly is that command supposed to do?

Restarting Kicker with a command issued with Dcop! If it doesn't works for you, then I have no other idea to help you. Sorry!

switching auto-hide off and on helps here

Hey guys,
same problem here: auto-hide/unhide gets broken in kicker after some time; reason not apparent.
I can fix/workaround it by simply unchecking and checking the "auto-hide" box in the kicker settings. Easy, but still annoying.
Any news why this is happening? Can it be avoided? Has anyone cared to file a bug report?
Best,
--hasi.
