Description Ralf Hildebrandt 2006-03-10 16:59:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It happens to me quite often that I start kopete, and then it runs, but displays no main window and no tray icon either. Instead, the tray contains an empty spot where kopete should have been. 
Killing kopete and starting it again usually gets it going.

Comment 1 Olivier Goffart 2006-03-10 22:24:34 UTC

can you run gdb and get a backtrace when it happen ?

gdb kopete `pidof kopete`

Comment 2 Ralf Hildebrandt 2006-03-13 10:41:52 UTC

Comment 4 Matt Rogers 2006-03-17 23:46:29 UTC

which version of kopete?

do you have a webcam or other V4L compatible device connected to your system?

if you wait for about 30 seconds or so, does kopete eventually show up?

Comment 5 Ralf Hildebrandt 2006-03-18 13:32:02 UTC

Kopete 0.11.1 using KDE 3.5.1
No webcam or other V4L compatible device connected
If I wait for about 30 seconds or so, kopete does not show up

waiting for a response for the terminal question. please reopen when you can provide an answer.

Comment 8 Ralf Hildebrandt 2006-04-09 11:29:50 UTC

Closing bugs that were not fixed is really bad style.

Comment 9 Ralf Hildebrandt 2006-04-09 11:37:01 UTC

But, alas, it seems that with KDE 3.5.2 the bug doesn't occur anymore.
