    <thetext>The problem suddenly starts to appear. When I try to start &quot;synaptiks&quot;, kde gives error:
KDEInit could not launch &apos;/usr/bin/synaptiks&apos;
When try to run from terminal, it gives following error:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
PS: few days ago, after upgrade, the kde stopped loading with error &quot;desktop shell could not load&quot; and I fixed it by removing ~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma directory. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run &apos;pacman -Syu&apos; to upgrade system
2. Go to &apos;kickoff Launcher&apos;
3. Run &apos;synaptiks&apos;
Actual Results:  
kde gives error:
KDEInit could not launch &apos;/usr/bin/synaptiks&apos;

Expected Results:  
Synaptiks should run and allow user to use/change touchpad settings

When go to &apos;system settings&apos; and run &apos;touchpad&apos; it crashes, here is the backtrace:

Application: KDE Control Module (kcmshell4), signal: Segmentation fault

    <thetext>&gt;  When try to run from terminal, it gives following error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Synaptiks is not developed nor tracked here.  Actually it is hardly maintained nowadays.

Anyway, the crash of systemsettings is probably related with bug 323899.</thetext>

    <thetext>(In reply to comment #2)
&gt; I have this problem using Arch Linux

I just did a system update on arch linux.
sudo pacman -Syu

I also had a problem with kate not launching in the kickoff application launcher which I changed the line:
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
to
X-DBUS-StartupType=none
in the file /usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop

I&apos;m not sure if the second part is need but the problem is now fixed for me.

On a side note when launching synaptiks from konsole I get the following warning message:
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.</thetext>
