Description Germano Massullo 2010-04-17 15:20:19 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I reported this bug like a crash severity because the final result is that you must reboot the machine to stop that.

It is not the first time I get this problem.
I clicked on a link from a conversation in Skype. Immediately konqueror started even if it is not the default browser. Even if konqueror tried to start, it did not open, but in the task bar I say A LOT of konquerors that started opening. This continued also when the task bar was full. To stop it I had to reboot the computer through the console.

I experience this same bug when opening a SAGE notebook.  The only way out is to kill X.

Also, this bug affects my kde settings so that the next time I am in kde, some shortcuts in the kde menu cease to function (most notably, log out, shutdown, restart).  The solution to that is to DELETE .kde directory.

This is the bug that caused it all for me.
