Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) Compiler: gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839] OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs The following problem occurs with KDE 4.4 RC3 under openSUSE 11.2. Steps to reproduce it: 1. Go to System Preferences > Workspace and set the dashboard to show an independent set of elements. 2. Add a random plasmoid to the dashboard. I tested this with stock plasmoids such as the Analog Clock and the "Now Playing" plasmoid. 3. Close the dashboard and exit your session to KDM. 4. This should cause a segmentation fault in kdeinit4. 5. After starting a new session, your plasmoid will not be visible in the dashboard. This happens to me everytime I set the dashboard to show an independent set of elements. Also, if I make changes to other plasmoids in my desktop activities they will be lost after starting a new session. When I change the dashboard settings back to default everything seems to be fine.
Could you add the backtrace of the kdeinit4 crash, if possible?
(In reply to comment #1) > Could you add the backtrace of the kdeinit4 crash, if possible? The problem is the crash occurs just before exiting the session, so I don't think I can do it with KDE Crash Handler. Is there a way I can prevent the session from closing, or perhaps pickup the crash from another session?
This issue seems to be resolved with the stable KDE SC 4.4. However I opened another bug regarding the dashboard: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226178
