Version: 4.1.82 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Between 4.8.81 and 4.1.82, something caused the kwinrc file to become corrupted when settings are applied in the kwin kcm module. From the user perspective it appears that settings arnt being saved, for example, selecting the wobbly window plugin, clicking ok, then going back in shows the wobblywindow not selected. Looking at kwinrc though, almost every setting is duplicated, and here you can see that wobbly window is both true and false.

Created attachment 29130 [details] kwinrc when apply wobbly window on the advanced tab This is where the duplicates are visible
SVN commit 894182 by lmurray: Reverted all code relating to automatic X crash detection with agreement from David. Due to an elusive bug somewhere in kdelibs we have not been able to find out how to fix the issues that some people were having. There seems to be a race condition as I cannot reproduce at all, David can reproduce sporadically and some reporters can always reproduce. This commit attempts to also keep the code style changes that were made at the same time as the original commit as well as some minor bug fixes that were made between then and now. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. We will be revisit this in KDE 4.3.
