Description ether 2001-07-06 15:56:33 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konsole
Version:           2.2beta1 (using KDE 2.2.0 Beta1)
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I dont know whats going on and it might be a serious bug or just something particular to my system. The first time KDE 2.2Beta 1 starts everything is fine i get the config wizard and everything is fine. I select Hi-color kde 2.2 with transparency and it works fine... until you restart kde. When youre back its impossible to launch the kmenu or right click on the desketop it just fails and doesnt display anything until you go back in kcontrol and respecify the style you want. The other one is this: A lot of crashes are happening in places where it shouldnt...
-Starting kmail
-Clicking anywhere but in the adress bar in konqueror makes it crash
-Unable to change any of the properties of konsole (it crashes)

Thanks

I had something similar happen to me a few weeks ago.  I don't know where I 
learned it or why it worked but what I ended up doing was renaming the .kde 
directory in my home directory so kde had to create all new config files.

It did fix the problem inelegant though it may have been.  IF I had the 
patience I'd have gone back through the various config files to try and 
figure out which one was the problem...but I'm not that patient. :-)

Let me know if you try that and if it helps.
