Description Marc Mutz 2008-05-23 11:33:30 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

This code (from kdepim/kleopatra/commands/selftestcommand.cpp) worked in 4.0-branch (I'm pretty sure of it, the bug it causes is pretty obvious)
{
        KConfigGroup config( KGlobal::config(), "Self-Test" );
        config.writeEntry( "run-at-startup", on );
}
but requires a
        config.sync();
in trunk.
Comment 1 Marc Mutz 2008-05-23 11:44:34 UTC 
Might this be caused by kded4 not running?
Comment 2 Oswald Buddenhagen 2008-05-23 19:14:34 UTC 
this is typically caused by the global config being held open due to a stray KComponentData instance.
Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2008-07-26 15:09:14 UTC 
i'll close it per comment #2. feel free to reopen if you can disprove the theory. :-)
