"""
Unless someone provide a patch, I'm afraid this won't be fixed. I've played with it, but didn't find any fix except disabling custom layouts completely. This is what was done for the KDE4 version. It should be noted here that workaround is to:

 1) remove layout.xml (*NOT* index.xml) from your photo directory if it's here
 2) run `KDE_LANG=en_US kphotoalbum`
 3) select one picture
 4) press Ctrl+1 for annotation dialog
 5) press Options->Save Current Window Setup
 6) exit KPhotoAlbum Any further sessions will work perfectly.

Because this was a KDE 3 package this report was filed against, it will not be fixed in KDE 3. However this has been fixed in KDE 4 due to a different code base for this feature. Thank you for your time and patience.
