Description Nico Schlömer 2008-03-02 20:48:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

steps to reproduce:

1.) start kde, have a pager ready
2.) right click on the pager
3.) click on "Configure Desktops..."

... and watch how nothing happens. the other buttons work fine, though.

hm.. it works here, so it's evidently an install difference. the code that launches it is:

  KToolInvocation::startServiceByDesktopName("desktop", QStringList(), &error);

so let's start with the obvious:

does `kcmshell4 desktop` launch the control panel for you?
if it does, do you have a $INSTALL_PREFIX/share/kde4/services/dekstop.desktop file?

it does.

don't! -- and after i manually created it, it instantly worked. will report this to the gentoo lot straight away.

thanks!

I'm using 4.1 SVN (4.0.98 - 4.1 recently created branch) and the option in Pager's context menu is not working; it doesn't do anything.
