there is a hung plasma-desktop process when this happens: kquitapp plasma-desktop isn't actually quitting the app: it starts to quit, but then plasma-desktop gets hung. this is a recent problem somewhere in kdelibs: we're seeing it in other apps as well. (i've experienced it in ksnapshot, gwenview, ..)

"if I restart kde"

this is because the hung plasma-desktop process gets killed on logging out.

as it's a general problem recently introduced somewhere in kdelibs, i'm not interested in tracking this issue here under the plasma component. if i re-assign it to kdelibs component, i doubt it'll get closed in a timely manner due to nothing pinpointing which component is actually to blame and that the issue is only visible in current trunk. i'll take this to k-c-d to see if we can track down the problem there.

p.s. there is no "kde" to restart; you mean Plasma Desktop :)

tracked it down with my first gdb backtrace: it's in the new Solid fstab backend.

I can confirm that the fix works (only quickly tried dolphin, though).
