Anyone Else Have a Ghost Window?
For some reason there is a "ghost window" that is on my desktop that can't be moved and I can't close it. I don't really know what to search for on Google since I've never seen this problem before but I was able to find a thread about the same thing here.
I deleted the KDE cache but it didn't fix the problem and it seems like turning off desktop effects makes it go away but I want desktop effects on.
The "ghost window" is on my left monitor only.
I'm using the latest version of KDE that is in the Arch repositories.

You can use xwininfo to list windows. Something like xwininfo -root -children .

Re: Anyone Else Have a Ghost Window?
What graphics card & driver are you using? Could be an artifact but I don't know if those show up in screenshots.
Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.

It doesn't even see it as a window because it just says it's the plasma desktop when I use the command and click the "ghost window".
It's not that big of a deal but I was just curious to see if anyone else was having the same thing happening to them.

I'm using a GTX 460 and the proprietary nVidia driver from the Arch repo.

Eh? It's supposed to give you a list, not make you click anything.
