Yes, I noticed some of these, removing the configuration
seemed to help in this case.

Recompiling the current cvs seemed to fix it.

But I'm still bothering about other problems that have arised in the
last days.

For example, the high color theme leaves garbage behind the separator in
konsole's toolbar and also around the small arrow used when any toolbar
is too small to show all the buttons (just resize any window with a
toolbar to be very small and you'll see). Btw, garbage in this case is
whatever button would be below the arrow if it would be painted.
Also, the handler in the toolbar location bar flickers whenever I move
the mouse over the eraser button, giving a very bad feeling.
And also, if you open any window, and without resizing nor moving it
click inside the window with alt-rmb (just a single click), then
the window is moved to the top-left corner and resized to something
around 10x10 pixels.

The last one has been broken from always (I've just noticed how to
reproduce it, as it seems to be a problem initializing the size inside
kwin). But the other ones have been broken in the last days.

Yes, I know what I have to do.
