Suprise, suprise! And they rant how they have no bugs and Windows is full of
bugs. The song remains the same...

Sam Gentile is right. I had the same problem which is one reason why I had
to re-install Linux a lot. It occurred with *one* user out of three (i.e.
it wasn't a "global" problem). As a rule, in KDE, when you click the "K"
button, everything that is under the gnome menu pops up there by default.
It would never ever go back to normal once it started doing that (i.e.
restarting, logging out, etc. didn't help at all). There was a little black
dot on the panel that said "KDE menu" or whatever, and clicking that little
black dot there is the only way you can get to your KDE applications.
Go to Gnome, and click on the panel "foot" thing and look at what pops up.
Well, that's the same menu that is popping up for Sam Gentile in KDE! I've
seen it happen too.
I had been told to use Desktop Switching Tool--which did nothing. I had
also been told to try editing my start menu, which does not take care of the
problem at all. Just a little FYI.
I was wondering, since it isn't a global malady, maybe it could be remedied
if one could delete a "." file in their /home/$USER folder that sets desktop
preferences, so it would be reset when they returned to KDE??? What do you
think about that? I'm no longer having this particular problem so I can't
test it out, but I just now thought of it.
BTW, I think the problem needs to be reported as a KDE bug to www.kde.org.
I reported my problem since nobody could think of an answer for me! Turns
out KDE is chock full of weird bugs.
