PM96126: Window control (display / docking / undocking) does not work correctly under KDE or XFCE

Rational Rhapsody 8.0.5
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the KDE or XFCE desktop environments under Linux, the
  handling of GUI elements and window controls in Rhapsody 8.0
  (and above) will not behave as expected. Some windows will
  vanish when undocking them and free-floating windows such as the
  Features window may not appear at all.
  
  Once this occurs in a given session, the rest of the Rhapsody
  GUI may flicker and become unresponsive.
  
  Note that this problem does not occur using Gnome, or releases
  of Rhapsody prior to 8.0
