KDE 3.2.1 from current Debian SID, kernel 2.4.24: When I start knotes the screen gets cluttered  with unending masses of empty new notes, CPU usage soars to 98% and I have to kill knotes to stop it. A window flickers in a corner of the  desktop showing the message "copying libcal" ten times per second. In KDE 3.1 everything worked.

Greetings,

The bug regarding all black notes is fixed once and for all. The bug not 
restoring note positions I'll work on after CeBIT, but the new bug you just 
described (CPU 98%, flickering window) I have never heard of. Please send me 
your ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes directory zipped privately if there is no 
private data of yours in it.

Thanks,

CVS commit by brade: 

Very Cool! Thanks to Lubos for his function that removes sm from the client
leader KNotes is not managed anymore by KWin (again) and is now thus able to
restore its notes properly on login with manually saved sessions.
