Yes, I have seen it also.
There has been a recent batch of KDE4-related updates, which apparently tend
to break the running KDE session. Log out of KDE and log back in, and
everything will get fixed automagically... ;-)
I'm afraid this isn't my experience. As I said above, I can restart
konqueror and everything looks ok again... until it isn't. I've
rebooted, too, both after the new kernel installation yesterday and
again today after updates to firefox, thunderbird,
kde-plasma-networkmanagement and a few others. Haven't yet tried just
restarting kde; I'm not optimistic about it but I'll give it a try when
the system isn't busy.

I put this here in case the problem was related to lack of free space in
the partitions being used; I haven't often worked with them quite so full.
I am not sure what you are describing here, but it might be related and also
go away once you have restarted KDE.
HTH, :-)

Thanks for the response. A little auto-magic here might help :-)
