Description Jude Nelson 2006-10-14 01:40:30 UTC

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

Whenever I right-click a Debian package (or similar .deb-based file), most of the time the cursor image freezes (i.e. it will not change into a normal pointer when it is moved off of the icon), the taskbar does not respond, and Konsole does not refresh when I type into it (Konsole has transparency enabled).  The menu I wanted when I right-clicked never appeared.  The only fix I can find is to restart X.

When the freeze occurs, try running "kill -SEGV <pid-of-kdesktop>". This should get you a crash dialog, hopefully with a backtrace. Please paste the backtrace into this bug report

Comment 2 Jude Nelson 2006-10-17 07:01:51 UTC

No backtrace, unfortunately.  Running the recommended command, instead,
"undoes" the freeze (i.e. everything goes back to normal).

I suspect a dupe of bug 127749. But, if either:
a) you still see the bug in kde 3.5.6
or
b) you aren't using kopete,

please reopen this report

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127749 ***

Bug closed. Kdesktop is no more mantained.
