I figured out how to reproduce this: 1. Login to gnome and make sure to start a KDE application like karm or pwmanager that lives in the gnome-panel. 2. This should start the dcopserver process.
If you restart gdm all subsequent logins will result in KDE applications that normally live in gnome-panel to be started in a tiny window. Quiting these applications, killing dcopserver, and restarting the applications will result in the correct behavior. -- KDE applications do not get added in gnome panel https://launchpad.net/bugs/89785 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
