- Have you recompiled FancyTasks after the update to KDE SC 4.4 RC1 ? Regards Thanks for the quick answer, yes i did... this trace is already with the new compile. using qt4 4.6.0 final and kde 4.4 rc1. gcc version 4.4.3 20100105 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.4.2-8ubuntu2) feel free to contact me at any time. May be you could contact the author of FancyTasks and ask if someone else experienced this issue.. may be the code needs to be adjusted a bit ? As far as I know, libtaskbarmanager doesn't have an stable API.. I did contacted him, waiting for an answer, but that doesnt invalidate the notion that plasma-desktop shouldnt (in a perfect world) crash because of a plasmoid misbehavior (or well just go back to 1995 and use that other OS) ;) That topic involves another big discussion with the Plasma developers (bug 199754, and several other webpages with explanations and such) (Note that I'm not a Plasma developer..) Regards the crash is in fancytasks, it needs to be fixed there. and yes, as i've said numerous times before, linking against libtaskmanager by a 3rd party plasmoid is just asking for trouble. as for not crashing and your oh-so-humorous quip about 1995, note that kicker was exactly the same in this regard. however, plasma has two important differences here: there are a TON more widgets available for plasma due to the ease of getting into it and what you can do with it (so more chance for errors such as this one), BUT we are providing increasingly sophisticated scripting support that can help developers not shoot themselves in the foot. Relax aaron, i know you too well ;) I was merely noticing that if the kde devs allow for third parties to trample all over plasma, plasma would have the same problems that plagued/still plague the windows world. I use kde for many years and contribute whenever i can (mostly packaging for kubuntu nowadays and the ocasional patch/bug fixing), but i know plasma is very good and always getting better. so relax, i didn't mean to push your buttons. best regards and keep up the good work.
