This is a strange one.

I have two machines, both installed from the same set of 9.1 Pro disks.
Just yesterday I noticed that there is a KDE panel xmms applet,
xmms-kde, which is great - global hotkeys and stuff. So I added it to
both machines's panels.

The weird thing is, that they both work fine except that the song title
display of the second machine's xmms-kde is invisible.

Machine 1 is a desktop PC with Elsa Gloria Synergy and SiS6230 Graphics
adapters both at 24 bit 1024x768. Both displays look like this:

Machine 2 is a laptop with ATI mobility Radeon 24 bit 1024x768 and it
looks like this: <http://www.saunalahti.fi/pirisisi/xmms2.png>
Note that you can only see the lower end of the letter 'g' of the song
title. Same song on both pictures.

Both machines have the same xmms, xmmms-kde and KDE, originally from the
suse9.1 CDs and today both upgraded to 3.3 just to see if it would fix
the thing. It didn't, the desktop PC still shows the title and the
laptop doesn't.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
