After restarting the KDE4 session, these plasma applets sometimes loose their orientation and go back to vertical. In the second screenshot (attached to comment #2), one can see that the postit has turned to vertical. This happens for the comic and the picture frame as well. Although it seems to be difficult to predict when this will happen. Often the orientation of one of these widgets survives several restarts of the KDE4 session and then suddenly looses the orientation after yet another restart. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you end plasma with "kquitapp plasma" and restart it then plasma-appletsrc contains the relevant "Transform=" line and the orientation persists. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I just wanted to make sure that it is meaningful to test these things with the KDE4 in STABLE/Factory, i.e. with 4.0.99. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
