As i told you i think you have a different problem that is not the same bug.
You can never swear a bug is totally fixed, but so far, we have no evidence
to think this bug is still unfixed.
Kubuntu's packaging of kde 3.5.5 was done separately from ours, and from what
I have seen they're not applying the patch that fixes this issue.
Upstream bug 104956 (http://bugs.kde.org/104956) has a patch attached to it
that was applied to KDE's 3.5 branch after 3.5.5 was tagged. We have included
that patch and it seems to fix the issue. This problem still occurs in other
distros (like Kubuntu) because they have not included that patch yet.
It will be fixed for them in KDE 3.5.6.
