Description Javier Llorente 2011-10-05 07:57:09 UTC

OS:                Linux

I left the Wetab running for several hours (charging), then used it and saw that all activity titles in the activity switcher were gone except for a user-created activity. I also had crash dialog from kactivitymanagerd (segfault). Unfortunately I couldn't get any traceback.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected Results:  
Activity titles in the activity switcher should stay there.

Note: if you rename activities, you'll get the title for that activity back in the activity switcher.

"I also had crash dialog from kactivitymanagerd (segfault)"

this would be the causal factor.

so .. things that need improving here:

* kactivitymanagerd should not crash (do you have a backtrace?)
* when kactivitymanagerd re-appears, the DataEngine should re-populate itself (a DBus service watcher should be enough)
