Version: kdevelop 3.0.0.b2 (as of CVS/HEAD 2003-12-06; KDE 3.1.94 (3.2b2)) (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) libc 2.3.2; Linux 2.6.0-test11 OS: Linux start kdevelop, and while it's still loading components and showing the splash screen, do already select e.g. the "Configure KDevelop" dialog. The dialog pops up under the splash screen, and the splash screen won't go away until you close the dialog. In this unfortunate state switch to another virtual desktops: the frozen splash screen follows you. You'd better lock the GUI until the splash screen is closed. :-)
The GUI is now reasonably "locked" (the menu is disabled) during startup, so I guess we can mark this as fixed.
