Bug 126768 – KDE splash screens disappear on click

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Beuss 2006-03-19 00:42:32 UTC]

Hi,
When I click on a splashscreen on KDE, it disappears. I don't know if it is really a KDE bug since almost all spashscreens have the same behavior (KDE starting one, GIMP's one, ...).
Here is an emerge --info, if it can help...
Regards 
Sebastien

[Comment 1 Simon Farnsworth 2006-03-19 01:25:34 UTC]

I believe (and http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.kde.devel/browse_frm/thread/edbb40808895015e/3ffb0d891ccdcc51%233ffb0d891ccdcc51 backs me up on this) that disappearing KDE splashscreens is intentional; it allows you to get rid of a splash screen that's in the way.

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-03-19 08:41:30 UTC]

This is intentional behaviour (and to be honest, GIMP's splashscreen has nothing to do with KDE), as Simon already noted.

If you really don't want that to happen you probably should ask upstreams to add an option for that.
