Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc 3.3.4 OS: Linux I am logging into a SUSE 9.2 pro desktop using the X.org X11 client provided with cygwin (XWin v6.8.2.0-1) Everything works pretty well, including screensavers, except for locking the desktop. On selecting "Lock Session" from the KMenu, the chosen screensaver starts up and runs; however, on moving the mouse/touching a key the unlocking dialogue appears and the kdesktop_lock process begins using all CPU. .xsession-errors shows: DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QStringList' error DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QString' error Xlib: extension XFree86-Misc missing on display "redacted.my.lan:0.0" Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10 Major opcode: 2 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x2600007 logging in on another terminal and killing the kdesktop_lock process (with -9) gets my desktop back. It appears that the error returned by the cygwin XWin server throws kdesktop_lock into a tight loop?
Can you try logging in from another UNIX machine (e.g. without Cygwin) to see if the problem still happens then?
Chris, I just tried logging in from another SUSE box (running 9.0) and there was no problem locking and unlocking the session. So it does seem to be cygwin-specific.
I realize this is a rather old bug but as it is still listed as open, I thought I would let you know that I am encountering the same (or similar) problem. OS: openSuSE 10.3 KDE: 3.5 (kdebase3-3.5.7-87.5) When running locally, kdesktop_lock behaves just fine but when connected remotely (Windows Vista running Xming 7.3 Xserver) kdesktop_lock consumes 100% CPU on one processor of a dual processor machine. Thanks, Greg
Same problem here, too. Xming 6.9.0.31 on XP SP2 to debian 4.0 kde 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2.
please reopen if the problem persists with kde 4.5
