Bug Description

I am using Kubuntu Jaunty up to date and i am trying to minimize my task bar because i have only a 1024*600 resolution screen. But if i play a lot with the height of the task bar, my screen become white and, i think, plasma reload his configuration.

I don't know exactly what traces you need to investigate but i can reproduce this bug every time.

(Sorry for my English, i'm French)

I can confirm this bug. After making taskbar height smallest screen goes white and plasma restart. This is kind of opposite of this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318094 (After making height big, screen goes black)
