how Amarok looks when started

Version:           2.5.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Context view is not fully formed when starting Amarok but if the width
is adjusted just a bit the context view is fully displayed

best way to describe it is the attached pic (also found here http
://simplest-image-hosting.net/jpg-0-screen-20120130-085503)

might be relevant that I am using QT 4.8

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
start app

Actual Results:  
Context view is not fully formed

Expected Results:  
Context view is fully formed

wiping out Amarok's config files and app folder does not fix this

This is not Qt 4.8 specific - I am now getting the same issue with Amarok Git, KDE 4.8 and Qt 4.7.4. I had not, however, seen the problem with KDE 4.7. This said, I didn't get it the first couple of times I started it on KDE 4.8 either, but it seems to be happening every time now.

It is intermittant.  Of course, haven't seen it since I posted!  Will 
take screen shot if it happens again.

I just upgraded my SuSe 12.1 system from KDE 4.7 to KDE 4.8 today. While
amarok worked fine before the upgrade, I am having the same problem as
initially described - the context panel does not properly open until the
main window is resized.

I know, it's not a big problem - just annoying, but I wanted to let you
know the problem is not just for one individual.

This is related to plasma actually, we are about to refactor the Context

though.

That's right, amarok ignores the geometry setting in .kde/share/config
/amarok-appletsrc and just starts with 200,200.

Okay, I ran git bisect, and this bug was introduced by commit 79bd9a7c6777e3f5d4e723bc5d3b00e5d6fe532b, "Fix infinite loop in context view eating CPU until main window is shown", by Matěj Laitl (I've cc'ed him in on this bug).
Confirmed by undoing that change on current master, and the applet containment starts the right size. The CPU consumption bug returns, however.

OK, thanks for digging this out. I will eat my own dogfood and try to
find the root of the problem.

The CPU drain was definitely a bigger issue. This seems only to have been recorded post KDE4.8, so that might provide some hints as to what exactly is going wrong.
My guess is the simplest solution here is just triggering the resize event at the correct point once it actually knows its size. I did have a look at the code, but it's not something I've ever worked with before and I only got as far as confirming that triggering a timer to run the resizing code with a short delay works; I didn't locate the point at which the size actually becomes available, but it's after the MainWindow init finishes.
The Plasma stuff is scheduled to be replaced by QML instead at some point, so it's probably not worth fixing the layouts properly at this juncture unless that's easier.
