Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages In the good old days of KDE 3 it was possible to trigger reparsing of KIO http configuration with the following call: $ dcop <program> KIO::Scheduler reparseSlaveConfiguration http Now that I migrated to KDE 4 I wanted to do the same. DCOP is gone, so I spend some time figuring out what I had to do. I learned that I can use qdbus to get a list of valid destinations and can use dbus-send to send a signal. Example: ---------------- $ qdbus | grep konqueror org.kde.konqueror-8084 $ dbus-send --session --dest=org.kde.konqueror-8084 /KIO/Scheduler org.kde.KIO.Scheduler.reparseSlaveConfiguration ---------------- Unfortunately, executing the last statement crashed many parts of KDE. Plasma, Krunner, Akregator, Konqueror, ... everything crashed at the same time. Here is a backtrace of the konqueror crash: ---------------- [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb5eb6b50 (LWP 7798)] 0xb8024430 in __kernel_vsyscall () [Current thread is 0 (process 7798)] Thread 1 (Thread 0xb5eb6b50 (LWP 7798)): #0 0xb8024430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb64e7780 in __nanosleep_nocancel () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb64e75be in __sleep (seconds=0) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sleep.c:138 #3 0xb795c8b2 in ??

Sorry, I forgot to change the severity to "Crash" and it looks like I can not change this after filing the bug. (Why?) Could someone please change the severity?
What is your Qt4 version and your dbus lib version ? Thanks
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using Kubuntu-9.04. Here is the requested additional info: $ dpkg -l libqt4-dbus dbus Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-===============-============================================== ii dbus 1.2.12-0ubuntu2 simple interprocess messaging system ii libqt4-dbus 4.5.0-0ubuntu4 Qt 4 D-Bus module
I just tested with Kubuntu-9.10 Beta and, unfortunately, the issue is still there. Here is the current version info: $ dpkg -l libqt4-dbus dbus Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==========================-==========================-==================================================================== ii dbus 1.2.16-0ubuntu8 simple interprocess messaging system ii libqt4-dbus 4.5.3really4.5.2-0ubuntu1 Qt 4 D-Bus module Here is a simple bash script to test the issue: #!/bin/bash KONQUEROR=$(qdbus | grep -m1 konqueror) KONQUEROR=${KONQUEROR## } if [ -z "${KONQUEROR}" ] then echo "No running Konqueror instance found. Please start Konqueror." exit 1 fi dbus-send --session --dest=${KONQUEROR} /KIO/Scheduler org.kde.KIO.Scheduler.reparseSlaveConfiguration
Created attachment 37591 [details] bash script that triggers the crash The correct line breaks are not preserved in the comments. Therefore I attach the test script here. Just start Konqueror and then the test script -> the whole KDE 4 desktop crashes...
I just tested with KDE 4.4 and reparsing the configuration still crashes the whole desktop.
