well, there is a sort of "preferred" size. X apps can (and do) request new 
windows at any specified size. The minimum size is just an additional hint for 
the window manager.

Actually, the window manager is free to resize to pretty much whatever it 
likes to as per the X specification. However, by default it would probably use 
the preferred, not minimum size, if possible (it does, here).

well, it may have been around all of the time. I mean the effect that this 
window can be resized to ridiculously small sizes may well have gone unnoted 
all the time.

I suspect is that something changed in kwin, which makes the existing bug 
worse. My guess is that for some reason, your window manager tries to make 
windows appear at the smallest allowable size. For most windows that is a 
sensible size, but for this window, due to the above bug, it is not.

Perhaps you can take a look at your system settings, see if you find anything 
that may be relevant.

indeed it does: the dialog now comes up and remains. but it's about the size 
of a two-liner, so i must manually resize it verically to see all of it. at

well, most certainly it's a Qt and / or KDE issue, then.

I note the following strange behavior, here:
a) I can resize the unmodified plugin to arbitrarily small sizes.
b) If I shorten the warning label so that there is no line break, the window 
will correctly refuse to be resized below a sensible minimum.

I guess that may be fairly close to the root of the problem. I only did a bit 
of googling, so far, and it shows this description of the problem (without the 
more severe effect of nothing coming up at all, though): 
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/8766-Qt-layouting-QLabel-s-word-wrap-bug .
 
I have committed an experimental patch, which should set a hard minimum size 
limit to 50x50 pixels, in SVN. Could you test, whether than changes anything?

ok, it's getting warmer here. after toying around a little i found that the 
first warning message causes the problem. as long as it fits in one row the 
dialog becomes available:
 o http://reaktanz.de/stuff/R/RKWard_load_R_data.png
if i add just one more "x" at the end of the message, it closes as soon as it 
comes up. removing   doesn't change anything.

manually inserting a simple line break after the word "existing" in the XML 
file also fixed it. so breaking text seems to be the issue.

any ideas what would cause this?

works fine, exept when it appears it's so thin you can't read anything, like 
all in one row.

well, ok, at least all that testing shows that it's a fairly robust effect. 
Perhaps you can try narrowing it down from two sides:

1. Could you try with a different window manager? Could you try downgrading 
kwin? Could you toy with System Settings->Workspace->Window Behavior settings 
a bit?

2. Could you play with the plugin a bit (00saveload/import/load_data.xml)? One 
rather unusual thing about it is that is shows/hides two different warning 
messages depending on whether the "Save to environment"-box is checked. This 
may result in the dialog being resized shortly after it is shown. Perhaps the 
problem is here. Thus:
2a. Try removing the -section.
2b. Try moving everything into a , with the two warning-labels in a 
second tab (of course, this does not make too much sense, but I think it 
should keep the size fixed).
2c. Try running the "Analysis->Qt script test1" plugin (from 
under_development.pluginmap). This does some unusual UI-changes, too.

it's pretty much a default KDE 4.6 running kwin. except of the upgrade to 
4.6.4 a few days ago (from the PPA repo) nothing really changed. but that 
doesn't seem to be the issue either. to test that, i upgraded a laptop to KDE 
4.6.4 as well, there the plugin still works; the only difference being i'm 
running amd64 binaries on my desktop and i386 on the laptop.

i tried switching desktop effects on and off -- no effect.

i downgraded to 0.5.4 (the official natty package -- quite ancient for 
04/2011, i'd say). the plugin doesn't work there either! but i can't swear it 
ever did, because i don't remember when i used it for the last time... usually 
i open whole workspaces. nonetheless, this bothers me now, and i'm really 
clueless.

this also doesn't help. but it helped me noticing that for a glimpse of an eye 
something does appear, but it's as if it's immediately being closed again, 
like just before it's fully there. just a small grey box that flashes up.

[but if you really want to feel progress, downgrade to 0.5.4 for a minute and 
come back. it's awesome what happened to the interface in between just these 
two releases :-)]

well, unfortunately, that did not help much. The plugin appears to be started 
alright, and starts doing its work. So apparently, the "only" problem is that 
it does not become visible.
 
Perhaps a window manager issue of some sort, again? Which window manager are 
you using? Anything uncommon about your setup (multiple displays or the like)? 
Could you try downgrading RKWard to whatever version synaptic offers, and check 
whether the problem is affected by this?

What happens, if you try to invoke the plugin from the R Console? I.e. try
  rk.call.plugin ("rkward::load_r_object")
and perhaps also
  rk.call.plugin ("rkward::load_r_object", envir.active="1")
does this show a window?

it's exactly that: literally nothing happens, no dialog window comes up. all

You mean nothing happens when you click Submit? In that case, check the 
"Command log" for diagnostics. Or no dialog comes up when you select
Import->Load R data from the menu? That would be quite mysterious, indeed. Try 
changing Debug->Debug level to 5 in the settings, directly before starting the

Well, that probably needs fixing, somewhere, but I doubt it has anything to do 
with the problem. I also just fixed another small bug, but that should have 
caused a slightly faulty layout, at worst.

Do all other plugins work?
