Description Dirk Heinrichs 2011-05-11 07:44:13 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

First things first: This is for 4.6.3, but it wasn't selectable in bugzilla, so I chose 4.6.2.

Whenever I logout and back in, the pager shows the default names of virtual desktops (german: "Arbeitsfläche 1" - "Arbeitsfläche 6") instead of the names I have given them. Worked fine in 4.6.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to 4.6.3
2. Change names of virtual desktops
3. Logout
4. Login

Actual Results:  
Default desktop names are shown again.

Expected Results:  
My own desktop names should be displayed.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-9-generic
Compiler: cc

I can confirm this bug. It happens every time I logout and then login.
kde 4.6.3

Comment 2 Werner Flamme 2011-05-13 11:39:20 UTC

Same with me. During the KDE sessions, the entries are present in ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc. The entries are blanked when logging out. Editing manually does not help, since they are cleaned again when logging into a KDE session.

Comment 3 Bruno Friedmann 2011-05-13 11:51:50 UTC

Same here with openSUSE_Factory and KDF. 
When desktop names are changed this is lost after a logout/login
and default name are setted back : in french Bureau 1, etc ...

Comment 4 Patrick Shanahan 2011-05-13 15:28:52 UTC

I have the same problem on
openSUSE 11.4
x86_64
kdelibs4-4.6.3-4.5.x86_64

Comment 5 Anton Aylward 2011-05-13 17:00:57 UTC

This seems to be a subset of a larger problem.
Other per-session information such as the items/widgets added to the systray (kmix, klipper for example) are not restored after a login/logout.  I'm seeing the same thing with Konqueror settings as well.

What is being restored seems to be settings from a week or more ago, those settings and items on the panel and systray.

I can confirm this bug as well.

Comment 7 leo_rockway 2011-05-18 18:08:24 UTC

I can confirm this bug as well.

Comment 8 Dave Ulrick 2011-05-22 20:09:47 UTC

I see this bug with KDE 4.6.3 (Fedora 14).

Comment 9 IanB 2011-05-24 12:42:00 UTC

I have also seen this on KDE 4.6.3 (fedora 14).

As already mentioned this seems to be a wider problem, for instance I have the desktop cashew present when I login despite installing the ihatethecashew widget.

Comment 10 Gilboa Davara 2011-05-25 15:14:56 UTC

Same here: F14/4.6.3 and F15/4.6.3.
There are a number of messages about this bug in Fedora ML as well.
