Description Michael Hartmann 2006-09-06 19:07:41 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I'm using KDE 3.5 on my Debian testing system (latest packages) in Kiosk mode.
When copying text or files to the kde clipboard kdesktop crashes. In fact
kdesktop receives signal 11 (konsole: *** kdesktop (3860) got signal 11).

I guessed it could be something about the configuration. After some time of try
'n error, I figured out that this is a problem about the
"editable_desktop_icons=false" setting in kdeglobals. When deleted or set to
true, kdesktop doesn't crash.
I've also sucessfully reproduced crashes on my ordinary desktop machine (also
Debian testing with latest updates) and on FreeBSD:
Just add "editable_desktop_icons=false" to the [KDE Action Restrictions]-section
in kdeglobals, restart kdesktop (so it reads the updated kdeglobals), start
kedit, mark a text and copy it by using either the right-mouse-menu or the
copy-button to the kde clipboard and kdesktop crashes.
Same happens when trying to copy files in konqueror. Starting or stopping klipper doesn't have any influence.

On the kiosk box I use kernel 2.6.16-2-686, on my desktop box 2.6.8-2-k7. FreeBSD version unknown.

Thank you,
Michael

Please provide the backtrace from the crash.

I see, some actions aren't created and yet they are used later on. I'll fix it.
