I remember another report in this direction. Are you using the oxygen
theme?
Could you please test if it works with another theme and if the example
from
http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2012/03/26/qt-commercial-support-weekly-16-floating-widgets-and-how-to-find-their-way-back-home-2/
is also affected?

I confirm this is style-related. I switched to another Qt style (Windows) and the problem disappeared in octave (I didn't try the example above). But in fairness, changing the style is not really a good solution, as oxygen is the default KDE style (at least on Fedora).
