Bug 181990

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Hi there,

after compilation of the 4.2 tag i noticed a small problem with KDEInit... It complains that it cannot start some apps and plasma shows me an error, but the apps always start fine...

The error looks like this:

"KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/konsole'"


How to reproduce (i'll describe exactly what i did):

1. Start over with a fresh config
2. move standard panel from botton to top and create a new one at the bottom
3. drag the konsole entry from the simplemenu (system -> konsole) to the lower panel
4. start konsole from the panel launcher and you'll get this error

(It doesnt happen always, but quite often)

Same happens with a systemsettins launcher in the panel. The first start is no problem, starting a second instance shows this error again...


Here is some more info about this, although for an older KDE version:

The workaround mentioned in the last comment works for me, but i doubt that its a legit one...

Also read this comment at the launchpad bug, could be helpful:

HTH and greetings
