You provided one already: "It pops its head up > even if I switch between machines with my KVM." Can you clarify exactly > what's going on here? How are you switching exactly? I have four machines connected via an HDMI KVM switch. Two of them run Plasma displays. In this case, I have a display up from one machine, with no task bar visible. I press a button on the KVM switch, to connect the screen etc. to another machine, which also was not showing a task bar when I last looked at it, and the task bar appears on the second machine. I run the mouse over it to hide it again, then use the KVM switch to go back to the first machine, and up comes the task bar. I can repeat this process ad nauseam. > And when you switch and > the panel appears, do you notice that one of the tasks on its Task Manager > widget entered the "needs attention" state? I don't know what that is, which may be because I have most notifications switched off in the System Settings and so I don't get such a state shown. Ah! Is what I'm seeing caused by that? I've switched notifications off, so the machine shows the task bar instead? > Are there any other circumstances under which an auto-hidden panel appears > at a time you don't expect? In KMail, I make an 'archive' of all my mails every day. When the archiving finishes it opens a dialogue box to tell me so. The task bar appears then too, I assume on all desktops. I'll let you know if I think of another case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
