Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: Several fairly recent GCC versions OS: Linux Every now and then (about once every few days or a week in average of KDE use without having restarted KDE), without a way to reproduce that I would have found, multi-key shortcuts, khtml cookies and kwallet all suddenly, at the same moment, cease to work. The only remedy I have found is restarting KDE. This bug has existed at least since KDE 3.2, maybe even earlier at least with cookies (sorry, I can't remember). The multi-key shortcuts that I have are all of the form LeftWin+letter+letter.
Created attachment 12492 [details] Output from startx and its children Here's output from startx and its children that I logged. Hard to tell where the interesting stuff starts, but at least line 1101 already contains relevant messages. Might be that there's something useful hundreds of lines earlier. I wrote a small script to add a timestamp to the messages, so next time this occurs I can attach timing information that I believe should help a lot (ie. what happened close to things ceasing to work). If there's a specific program that I should monitor in some way, I'll be happy to help, now I don't quite know where to start.
Somehow, kded became unreachable.
I noticed the same thing, on a similar system (debian testing/unstable). My KDE was the regular debian one (binary). Could it be debian specific?

To comment 3 , this is not Debian-specific since I see the same problem in Mandriva and Suse.
Created attachment 12945 [details] Timestamped log Here's a log similar to the one I originally attached, but with timestamps to show the relative times of events (so one can see what happened at about the same time the bug appeared and what didn't).
I have the same problem, kded silently stops (crashes?). At the time of writing, I did not find out what action triggered this. My guess is that KNemo is causing this when I unplug my network cable. But before I'm going to investigate this: Sami, David, do you have KNemo installed and running?
No, I don't have KNemo installed.

*** Bug 129844 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hard to tell if #129872 is a duplicate of this or not, the common thing possibly only being that kded crashed. Anyway I haven't encountered this bug at all with recent versions of KDE (from Debian testing/unstable), whereas when I reported this it happened fairly frequently. Perhaps it has been fixed while fixing or implementing something other?
Well, closing the bug since I haven't encountered this in a very long time and nobody commented after I said so 3.5 months ago. Reopen it if you encounter this.
