Version: 4.04.04.04.0 (using KDE 3.0.4) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 i start kde by issuing "startx" from the command line after boot. *most* of the time, when i logout (and therefore return to the console, my cpu usage goes up to 99% and stays there... indefinately. it appears that kdeinit:kdesktop is the culprit, chewing up all of my cpu power. and if i don't kill it (a normal kill won't work, it has to be "kill -9") and run "startx" again, a new copy of kdesktop is started that behaves itself... until i log out again. then the two of them are sharing the cpu at about 49% each. things worth noting: -------------------------------- i'm using kde's "multiple wallpaper" feature and it's pulling in 504 different wallpapers (~200mb) from a vfat partition. and this is the tail of the output i see after logging out (but only when kdesktop is still running.) warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 74 types alive. waiting for X server to shut down *** kdesktop got signal 1 (Exiting) user@localhost user $ kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children. kdeinit: Exit *** kdesktop got signal 15 (Exiting) <i hit eneter> user@localhost user $ ps -aux | grep kdesk user 6801 8.1 3.0 64684 15636 ? R 11:02 0:09 kdeinit:kdesktop user@localhost user $ it's not a huge piss-off, but it is a bother since the non-geeks in the house aren't familiar with ps or kill.

R 11:02 0:09 kdeinit:kdesktop Can you attach gdb to it, to find out what it's doing? Like: gdb kdeinit 6801 <press enter as many times as asked> bt copy/paste and send the resulting backtrace. Thanks.

The same problem is also reported as part of bug 48984 (Among others) I think the SIGHUP and SIGTERM signal handlers should be reset to default. The logs show that both are being called. One would expect the kdesktop process to be gone by the time the SIGTERM is send, when that isn't the case kapp->quit() is called again. Currently kapp can be 0 when the second signal arrives (although I don't think this is the case). Apart from the above there is something else wrong because kdesktop should have done a complete exit before the SIGTERM arrives.
Subject: kdelibs/kio/kio CVS commit by waba: CCMAIL: 49935@bugs.kde.org Using kdDebug from a signal handler is not a good idea. This might actually be causing BR49935 M +10 -1 slaveinterface.cpp 1.72
Should be more or less fixed now.
Bug closed. Kdesktop is no more mantained.
