Description Yogesh Marwaha 2010-09-01 19:54:28 UTC

Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

After I enable/disable a "Desktop Effect" and click on "Apply", the system hangs and I have to kill x-server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) to use it. By "System hangs", I mean that system does not respond to any input even though I am able to move the mouse (cursor).

This same behaviour occurs when I change Application Appearance -> Style and click Apply.

I must mention here that settings are saved correctly.

Reproducible: Always




I'm currently on KDE 4.5.1 and this behaviour existed even on 4.5.0 but not on 4.4.4.

OS: openSUSE 11.3 64 bit (KDE updated through download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.3/)

Just checked for some more examples and found that this also occurs when changing colour scheme but, for example, does not occur when changing plasma theme.

shift+alt+f12

Sorry, that was the wrong paste, I wanted to say:

You can break the freeze by pressing shift+alt+f12, then you press that again to reactivate desktop effects. The freeze is tracked at bug 241402.
