However, I only see this frame title appendage under KDE, not under icewm or twm (these are the only WM's currently installed on my system). And, while I see this with an Emacs 24 build of 2010-09-08, I do not see it with a 23.1.91 build of 2010-01-28 (the only 23.2 pretest build I have). These two builds differ in GTK+ version: 2.18.1 for the earlier vs. 2.18.6 for the later builds. But I also have an Emacs 23.1 built with GTK+ 2.18.6 by openSUSE on the same system (I'm running 11.2 and KDE 4.5.2), and this 23.1 build does not have the frame title appendage. So this seems to be due to some interaction between Emacs 24 and KDE/GTK+ (perhaps involving the gtk-qt engine), since I haven't observed this with any application beside Emacs 24. Do any of you have an idea what could be causing this problem, or a suggestion how I could try to track it down? Steve Berman
