Description Alexey Chernov 2016-01-21 16:03:22 UTC

A small typo in D-Bus service address of Skrooge occasionally makes KRunner frozen during the whole Skrooge lifetime after startup (if choose application item, with icon, in KRunner rather than "Execute Skrooge" item) and "KDEInit couldn't launch <path-to-scrooge>" error message.
The patch is applied, but it's really the simplest one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KRunner.
2. Type "skrooge".
3. Choose the "Skrooge" item (usually the first one).

Actual Results:  
Notice that KRunner keeps showing and doesn't process any user input as if it prepares to crash. Close Skrooge to see that it's still functioning but was frozen, notice the error message.

Changing desktop file didn't work for me.

It could also be that some other version is caught up in KRunner. In this case cleaning up ~/.local/share/applications worked for me (but be sure you don't have anything useful there, back it up beforehand).

This fix is needed too:
