Hi!
I've got a simple List widget in my UI. When the list loses the focus the
selection in the list is lost (it's not visible anymore anyway). Is it
supposed to be this way? Is there a setting to control this behaviour?
When I've made a selection inside the List I always want the selection to
be visible, no matter where the focus has gone to!
I think I've noticed the same behaviour in the Table widget.
Thanks in advance for any helpful insights...

I've now found that it's probably KDE. GTK is fine under Sawfish and
GNOME. I tracked it down the the configuration file written by KDE, when
you choose to make GTK's colours the same as KDEs. If you turn this off
(that particular config file is then cleared out) - the problem goes away.
The config file will be mentioned in the env var GTK2_RC_FILES. So, look
under there if you want to find out where it is. Mine was at
/home/neil/.kde/share/config/gtkrc
Hope this is of help to others.
Neil

It's a bug in kcontrol/krdb. I filed it here:
