Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux It is possible for KHotKeys to completely lock the keyboard. Steps to reproduce: - open the KDE control center and load the KHotKeys KCM module - go to general settings, tick "Disable KHotKeys daemon" option, click Apply - untick said option, press Apply - press Shift+F12 (or whichever key you have bound to the Voice support) - keyboard is locked I have KHotKeys compiled without aRts support, and thus I don't have the Voice tab - this may be relevant to the problem.
I get the same here (FreeBSD, KDE compiled from SVN, though not very recent). Usual arts dependencies, so I suppose that it's not the "no arts support" that's the problem
I think this deserves an upgrade, since it makes the KDE session pretty unusable (you can log out via K menu, but not a lot else)
FYI, bug 132991 also has an app freezing the keyboard (though not khotkeys). Perhaps it's related.
There's an analysis of this sort of problem in bug 137288, FWIW
I cannot reproduce. Can you get a backtrace of khotkeys (kded) somehow?
What kind of backtrace ? It's not a crash.
Attach to the running process. It is possible that it locks up somewhere.
Cannot reproduce, not response.
