Description org.kde.bugs.dominik 2010-10-31 23:00:22 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

If you have several instances of dolphin open and one of them hangs (e.g. an unreachable NFS drive), all others are blocked too. Trying to close the window brings up the KWin dialog, telling me that the application is not responding. After pressing "terminate" all other instances of dolphin are gone as well.

So it would be very helpful, if one could start several independent instances of dolphin.

Maybe this is related to bug #212957

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open some instances of dolphin, point one of them to a directory causing it to block and terminate with the KWin terminator.

Actual Results:  
All dolphin windows are closed

Expected Results:  
Only the offending window is closed (or even better: give a possibility to revive the blocked instance)
