Minimize is seriously broken

[rikona]

Some pgms, when minimized, show up as new 'random' icons on the bottom
of the left icon stack. Alt-tab also displays this random, unrelated
icon which, if selected, does bring up the pgm that was minimized.

For example, if I start konq it comes up and works OK. When minimized
it creates a new icon 'Treeline doc' on the bottom left which is a
desktop icon pointing to documentation for the Treeline pgm.

If I place an actual konq icon in, say, the middle of the left icon
stack, that will start konq as one would expect, but if minimized will
create a new 'Treeline doc' icon on the bottom left. A white triangle
will be there indicating that it is running, but NO triangle appears
on the real konq icon. If I start a second instance of konq and
minimize that, a second triangle appears on the 'Treeline doc' icon.

So, it works of sorts - if you can remember which *real* pgm the
random icons represent, you can get back what you want. :-))

How can I find out what happened, and how to fix it? I would
reeeeeally hate to have to do a complete reinstall.
