I agree: I had to manually run the above command to figure out what was actually wrong. The error message was simply too quick to disappear. Maybe the error message should stay there until the user applies some new settings to that particular section, namely un-ticking the box...? SVN commit 960397 by trueg: Try harder to keep the correct state in case of an error.

Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources In the 'Desktop Search' KCM I've enabled Nepomuk (with the checkbox) and clicked apply. Then, when I click the Strigi box then click apply, an error message ("Strigi service failed to initialize, most likely due to an installation problem.") briefly flashes up in place of the previous "Strigi service not running" before the text return to saying "Strigi service not running". There is no way to have time to read this error message (I had to find it in the source code to paste it here) and most strangely, the checkbox stays checked so a user could think that the strigi service should be running. I am assuming that checking this box is running '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukstrigiservice' which is erroring> However, it would be more useful if the KCM printed some log of the messages from nepomukservicestub.
