    We investigated here in our labs a similar issue, so after some message exchange with KDE Kwin developers the reason is well explained on this thread:
    http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=139108901031712&w=2

    The simple answer is, set frameless windows using splash screen method will behave wrong in regular window managers ( under linux of course ).

    There simple ways to frameless windows on linux, so probably can be easily fixed.
