[Bug 312961] [NEW] KDE 4.2b2: drawing problem with krunner / kickoff

[Daniel Hahler]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Since KDE 4.2b2 KRunner and the Kickoff menu have problems displaying a
list of elements.

REPRODUCE:
1. Alt-F2 to start krunner. The window looks fine.
2. Type "ama". KRunner completes this and draws a bigger window, which is totally broken (only the frame/border is present).
3. Typing "amarok" to the end and pressing Enter starts Amarok. So the functionality is still there.. only the display is not working correctly.

This is the same with the Kickoff menu window, but this just appears as
a black box with transparent background (without being drawn correctly
before, like with KRunner, before you type anything).

See the attached screenshots.

WORKAROUND:
The drawing problem in krunner can be fixed by enabling desktop effects. This does not fix the Kickoff menu though, but you can switch to "Classic Menu Style" (when right-clicking the Kickoff icon).
