Plasma desktop control/config button is fubar

[Ben Pearre]

In the upper right corner of each screen is a Plasma control button. I believe it's supposed to offer options such as "Create a new panel" etc (the hovertext begins "Tool Box / Click to access configuration...". But it can't be clicked.

On mouse-enter, the little sperm icon lights up.

On mouse-down, it does nothing.

On mouse-up, a list of menu options appears and then disappears, and the whole screen flashes. No combination of clicking and mouse-moving will allow any selection from the menu--it disappears too fast.

NB This is with KDEWM=sawfish

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
