Description Roman Vanicek 2011-05-10 20:03:10 UTC 
Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When I disconnect from MS VPN using KDE dialog (Connections -> Virtual Private Network -> Disconnect), the network is disconnected but the kded4 process takes 100% CPU and runs forever. It even cannot be killed and I have to kill -9.

When I kill it and start it again, it works fine (until the next VPN disconnect).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Connections -> click on the VPN (connect).
Connections -> click on the X at the VPN name (disconnect).

Actual Results:  
kded4 process eats 100% CPU and runs forever.


The same functions worked fine in KDE 4.5.

Same here but with OpenVPN...
Fresh Kubuntu 11.04 install on a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 (Intel)

I have configured KNetworkManager to work with OpenVPN. It works fine!, I can connect to my VPN and everything works smoothly.
But when I disconnect, 'kded4' process starts eating 100% CPU. I have to logoff and login again, because the desktop becomes unusable.
I can always reproduce this bug, so I can provide more information if it is requested.
