           Summary: kwin wreaks havoc on ibm thinkpad
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: jdevisser digitalfairway com


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

I've updated yesterday (30 Oct) and now have a completely unworkable KDE. From the \
moment kwin starts (according to the splash screen), I get a constant barage of \
windows telling me that "something" (definitely not me) pressed the brightness \
buttons and has turned on the LCD display. 

I recognize the windows as having the same layout as the kmilo thinkpad button \
notifications, so it smells like thinkpad-related. I don't have kmilo running \
however.

Another interesting observation is that running kicker or kwin in  gnome session \
(using kwin --replace) seems to work.

I marked this as a crash since it is even more intrusive/annoying than an application \
crash.
