Since I've updated to KDE 4.6.0 yesterday, the KDE panel autohide feature stopped working. To be more specific, the panel hides perfectly well after fresh login but only until I open the first window. Since then, it's stuck open and overlaps windows. It doesn't autohide ever again even if I close all windows. The "can be overlapped by windows" setting doesn't work either, when I move a window over the panel, the panel stays on top hiding part of the window. Switching among the settings doesn't solve the problem. Reproducible: Always

Correction: The panel gets stuck since the first time I open the K menu. If I open a window through somewhere else, autohide still works fine.

I can confirm as I also have this problem on all of my computers. emerge --info attached. (sorry for the double post, should have added comment to the attachment)
Same here. And all my entries in the Application launcher menu are gone too. Sigh...

*** Bug 356407 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Ah well it was a .0 release... any better luck with 4.6.1 (or 4.6.2, comes out this week)?
(In reply to comment #7) > Ah well it was a .0 release... any better luck with 4.6.1 (or 4.6.2, comes out > this week)? According to upstream bugreport, this has been fixed in 4.6.2 by adding timeout to each unhide request. The panel starts hiding again after a few seconds even if the offending application doesn't clear its request.
What I don’t get though, is how come it worked in the first place until 4.6.0? Why wasn’t that logic just left in place? Was there a bug with it? If yes, which one? Because if no, one could just drop in the old logic, and it would work again. Then add a warning, not to change a working system. ;)

This is completely new (mis)feature.
Fixed in 4.6.2 according to upstream bug
