           Summary: Can't set starting position of Qt4 toolbar
           Product: UIM
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: helper: toolbar
        AssignedTo: uim-bugs at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: digitante at gmail.com


I am using KDE 4 from Debian "Squeeze" with version 1.5.7-9 of the 'uim-qt'
package on AMD 64 architecture, which includes the 'uim-toolbar-qt4' program.

The toolbar appears on top of the KDE clock at login (i.e. blocking the clock
so I can't read it). So far, the only workaround I know is to drag it off of
the clock every time I log in. This a little awkward, because it's hard to grab
the toolbar without accidentally pushing the buttons.

I realize this doesn't really affect the program's utility, but it is a
constant irritation and it interferes with the use of another program.

I have searched for some way to configure this in the preferences menu, man
page (there is none), by running the program with "--help" or "-h", by
searching for configuration files under ~/.kde and /etc, by searching the web
for documentation, and by browsing the source code. I can't find any reference
to the position for "uim-toolbar-qt4", although there apparently is a
commandline option for "uim-toolbar-gtk" (I'm guessing that the fact it isn't
mentioned in the sourcecode means that Qt4 is assigning it some kind of
default, which happens to be bad (?)).

Suggested behavior in descending preference order:

1) Configure the toolbar so that KDE4 will remember its position from the last
session and restore it there (as happens with ordinary application windows in
KDE).

2) Specify the location when starting the application, and provide a
configuration file which will change it.

3) Hint or specify the location so that it doesn't fall on top of the regular
KDE launcher.

Thanks!
