Description Sam 2009-03-23 20:34:33 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When Amarok is used in Last.fm mode, it tries to download some pictures from last.fm.
That spuriously generates a notification(Downloading xxxx from last.fm to local folder) and freezes Plasma completely. The only component of plasma that still works is the system tray. Everything else besides plasma still works. Switching windows by alt+tab is also possible. When it becomes responsible again(mostly after a song is over) all mouseclicks, done during the time it was unresponsible, are executed.

this is two bugs in one (one in amarok, one in plasma) both of which have already been reported. i can only mark it as a dupe of one or the other though afaik, so let's keep it int he plasma family.
