Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux An executable app is started by KDE file through clicking in the file in the file manager, or through start menu, or through ALT+F2 dialog box. When a non-KDE graphic app crashes (due to segmentation fault or another cause), its window suddenly disappear and no message is displayed. When a non-KDE graphic app cannot start (due to broken installation, or lacking shared library, or another cause) nothing happens, no error message is displayed. The error messages are displayed in the terminal if the graphic app is started by a command, but if it is not, these kind of error is not displayed. It is very annoying when a window disappear without a message or an app does not start without saying that there is an error. I want to ask to improve KDE usability to show error messages about the cause of app crash, such as "segmentation fault" or "shared library not found". Reproducible: Always
Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.
