There is a bug in KDE 2.1 that can cause this.
Are you using KDE 2.1? If so: Dup of bug 92150.

no response from reporter in over a month, marking worksforme

please reopen if this is a problem in a recent nightly (or 0.9.9 or 1.0rc1 ) and
if so please answer rkka's question.

I switched from KDE 2.1 to KDE 2.2 and the problem does not appear amymore,
however when I start my old installation with KDE 2.1 it still has this problem
(not tried with a recent nightly) so it appears this is KDE related.

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
