Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with 4.1.00 (binary packages provided by http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu). I have created the file cat .kde4/Autostart/kicker.desktop with the following content: ------------------- [Desktop Entry] Name=Kicker Exec=kicker ------------------- I can still start KDE4 but I get the following error message (in a popup window) after the start: "The desktop entry file /home/stefan/.kde4/Autostart/kicker.desktop has no Type=... entry." OK, maybe the .desktop file is invalid. That's my fault. But IMO KDE should not completely crash when I click the OK button of the popup window :)
Created attachment 27652 [details] Saved xsession error - line 213 following...
Sorry, forget to add an comment... It's definitely reproducable. The problem is that the whole system just "stops" - there is no possibility to add an backtrace ( I say this out of user experience ;) ) But I've saved the xsessionerror file. I hope it helps...
Yep, this isn't a crash, it's "just" ksmserver exiting :-) Good thing there's a msg box, it gave me time to attach gdb to it. Ah, yet another instance of quitOnLastWindowClosed being harmful in unusual apps. Fixed in trunk 866939, backported to 4.1 branch 866940.
