Bug#390575: Same problem here

[Josef Gasteiger <josti@web.de>]

I have the same or a similar problem with kicker:

The panel is configured to disappear after some seconds, and to appear again when hitting the bottom.
This works mostly perfect, but every few days the panel doesn't appear again.
I have to go to kcontrol-->panel, change something (unimportant what) so that the apply button is selectable. After clicking the apply buttom the panel reappears.

The system is up to date debian testing.
kicker 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1

If I remember right, this behavior was already there in KDE 3.4.
