As the cvs is already tagged (sorry I read your answer too late) and Dirk=
 said
that they use another method, I won't commit it. Anyway, I think they sho=
uld
use the standard method.

Hmmm, now you make me doubt, I've had problems lately with kdesktop and k=
icker
(kdesktop loosing the QIconview and being just a background, and kicker b=
eing
restored as a rectangular grey window in the center of the screen but onl=
y
taking
around 4*16 pixels width and 16 pixels height in the topleft corner of th=
at
window). And I've also being running kdesktop and kicker from a konsole. =
But
Dirk said that this couldn't happen, so I'm wondering if they're related.=


If calling disableSessionManagement cannot do any harm, I'd add it too. =

Opinions ?
