Per upstream report http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156559 this is a known issue and has been corrected in 4.1. Thanks for the report.
Will the fix be released as a fedora 9 update?
The plan is to release 4.1 as a F9 update once it's released, maybe we'll push a backported fix sooner.
What bugs me is that that fix is 4 months old and was never backported to 4.0, somehow the upstream process is broken there. :-/
Backporting fix.
Fixed F9 build here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=675978
kdesdk-4.0.5-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9
New build works for me. Thank you for the fast resolution to the problem.
And thanks for your fast feedback. The update is heading straight to the stable updates.
kdesdk-4.0.5-3.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
