Description Phil Rigby 2010-06-11 22:16:09 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Since moving to 4.5 beta 2 (4.4.85) whenever I log off/shutdown, plasma will crash.  The log off completes.  When I log back in, I have a black background where wallpaper should be, and my desktop widgets (temp and folder) are missing.  If I "add widgets", both of those are checked but they are not on screen.  I can consistently reproduce this.  Also, I created a brand new user and the same thing happens, and on 2 -totally- seperate machines.  Beta 1 was fine, beta 2 has this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set wallpaper, set widgets.  Work.  Log off, plasma crashes.  Continue, log back in.  All changes lost.

Actual Results:  
Any custom settings are lost, even ones made before upgrading.

Expected Results:  
To keep my widgets!

Running kernel 2.6.34, Fedora 13, 64-bit AMD.  Oxygen theme.

"plasma will crash."

please do a "kquitapp plasma-desktop" from a konsole window and get a backtrace of the crash for this report.

" When I log back in, I have a black background
where wallpaper should be, and my desktop widgets (temp and folder) are
missing."

a new activity is getting created each time. this bug was already fixed, though it's hard to know if the version you are using contains that fix. are you using per-virtual-desktop activities, or have more than one screen?
