+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #151692 +++ Version: unknown (using KDE 3.95.00 (KDE 4.0 Beta4)) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.7-default When trying to change anything in the User settings (e.g. the Name) and click "Apply", A dialog pops up asking for my password (why that?). If I enter the password and click OK, the application freezes (no response, no redraw). In ps I find "chfn" to be a zombie (<defunct>) process. This bug is still valid with 4.3.2 system settings, the problem is still present with an incorrect charset conversion from utf-8 to iso8859-15 on ë letter that make systemsettings The previous say the bug is fixed, but it's completely false here as i still confirmed it right now with 4.3.2 version of systemsettings
Can you check if applying patch http://kde.pastebin.com/m2ea164af works?
