Description Saulo Toledo 2010-04-13 03:25:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Really Annoying bug: almost always my PC is shutdown directly. KDE resets all my configs. For example:

After KDE upgrade, I put 8 application icons at panel, add some widgets, activate double click on systemsettings, change my wallpaper and desktop mode to "folder view", change Dolphin configs to expand folders, icons sizes, default navigation mode and some other little things.

A power failure in home, when back all my work on KDE is lost!
Ah ok, I do all again: after 1 week my PC freezes on a terminal: I reseted and what happened?! All lost!

Again! I killed X server to upgrade my Video Driver and... well, you know...

It's really annoying this resets. KDE must backup this configurations. Even Dolphin configs are resetted!

Configs are written to disk after some seconds they are changed on memory, and when the object are destroyed / the apps quit.
It could be related to the filesystem or to other settings (but an expert in the matter should check it)....

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
