Hello, all,

I recently installed Kubuntu 11.04 (which comes pre-installed with KDE 4.6.2)
and immediately started seeing this issue, and I tried the various solutions
proposed in this bugtracker, to no avail. However, the thing that DID finally
work for me was the following:

The hardware that I'm using is an ATI Radeon FirePro V4800, which has a
DisplayPort and a DVI out: I have one monitor plugged into each output for a
dual-head display. Since this is a desktop machine, every time I booted I saw
this issue rear its ugly head. To work around it, I would have to:
    1. Open the activities pane
    2. Create a new activity
    3. Open that new activity
    4. Stop the old activity

Once I did that, my windows returned without trouble. However, when I
restarted, I would have this issue, plus an issue where my dual-headed desktop
configurations were replaced with a single, cloned configuration. 

What finally fixed it for me was to install the ATI proprietary driver. Once I
did that, I had to configure the Catalyist control center to be in
"Multi-display desktop with displays(s) 1", which solved both issues for me.

Hope this helps, and please let me know if there's any information I can
provide to help with the tracking down of this issue.

Scott Fines
