I have noticed this behaviour in some KDE applications that make extensive use 
of dock-widgets since I upgraded to Qt 4.6.0. In particular k3b and amarok 
have this issue. I have not had a chance to investigate the cause or upgrade 
to Qt 4.6.1 to see if that resolves the issue. Sounds like it could be the 
same problem though.
