Description Oliver Grimm 2006-07-13 14:02:19 UTC

Version:           3.5.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

To reproduce
- press your favorite shortkey for "run program"
- type "kinfocenter" and press "enter"
- kinfocenter is started
- an error message pops up: "KDEInit cannot start KInfoCenter" [bug #1]
- the popup is behind the "run program" dialog so it cannot be seen immediately [bug #2]

The KMenu entry for KInfoCenter is "kinfocenter -caption "%c" %i %m" which can be used to start KInfoCenter without an error.

Comment 2 Helge Deller 2006-07-23 21:01:05 UTC

This proposal was posted to kde-core-devel mailing list:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=115325831024854&w=2
----------------------
The most obvious and easiest fix for this is the following patch:

deller@p100:/home/cvs/kde20/kdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol> svn diff
Index: main.cpp
===================================================================
--- main.cpp    (revision 563912)

-  KAboutData aboutKInfoCenter( "kcminfo", I18N_NOOP("KDE Info Center"),

     KCONTROL_VERSION, I18N_NOOP("The KDE Info Center"), KAboutData::License_GPL,
     I18N_NOOP("(c) 1998-2004, The KDE Control Center Developers"));


-> But the side effect of this patch is now, that the "Report Bug" functionality won't work any longer, since bug reports are tried to be sent to the "kinfocenter" module,  while in the bug system it's still named "kcminfo". Can we add a "kinfocenter" module to bugs.kde.org which maps to "kcminfo" ? Or should we rename "kcminfo" as "kinfocenter" in the KDE bug tracking system ? Any other proposals or ideas ?
