Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-01-29 11:04:40 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Typical case is that crash occurs, users saves the log, everything is ok.

But what about this:
* I shutdown the system (soft power-off button)
* all apps are closing
* black screen, still graphics mode
* 2-4 seconds...
* crash window appears, without window decoration
* after 1-1.5 seconds it vanishes
* 2 seconds later my computer is off

There is no chance I could be able to save this log (not mentioning I am rarely nearby after pressing power-off).

Please, save all crash logs automatically -- to /var/log/KDE for example. If user chooses to save the log by him/herself it could be moved, symlinked, or copied.

But there would be a guarantee that no log is lost.

KDE session will not exit fully if there are drkonqi windows open. If you computer turns off before, it is a system problem.

> KDE session will not exit fully if there are drkonqi windows open

In KDE3 this is not true, I saw a lot of times drkonqi and system shutting down at the same time (drkonqi was killer or closed in the process). So I hope you are referring to KDE4.
