Description Tomas Åkesson 2008-04-07 12:19:51 UTC

Version:           3.0 (using 4.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

The setting "Restore volumes on login" is ignored by KDE 4's kmix. Volume levels are restored to previous values when logging in even if this setting is unchecked.

I noticed that the file /usr/lib/kde4/share/autostart/restore_kmix_volumes.desktop has this entry:
  X-KDE-autostart-condition=kmixrc::startkdeRestore:true
which should prevent this command to run if the setting startkdeRestore is false (which it is in my case), right?

It looked wrong though to have an empty section (::) in that file so I tried to change it to:
  X-KDE-autostart-condition=kmixrc:Global:startkdeRestore:true
and now it seems to work.

I don't know if it is legal to have empty sections in X-KDE-autostart-condition, but if it is not, then I think this could be the cause of the bug.

By the way, I noticed now that KDE 3's version of restore_kmix_volumes.desktop looks the same as the one I critizised. So maybe it is something that has changed in KDE 4's autostart-handling?

Thanks for reporting. Great work. :-)

I didn't notice this issue, as I moved the "startkdeRestore" entry from the empty group "" to "Global". I'll fix this immediately. Hold on a second ...
