Description John Mitchell 2004-03-01 19:01:25 UTC 
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040214 (prerelease) (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.2

After copying the menu link for kpat to the desktop running kpat blocks kwin.  The icons disappear and the right click menu doesn't work.

After closing kpat a dialog pops up saying:
	Sorry - Kdesktop
	KDEInit could not launch '/usr/games/kpat'

but everything else works fine

BTW I'm using kde3.2.0 from Debian/Experimental

What's in your kpat.desktop file?
I think the X-DCOP-ServiceType is wrong.
Comment 2 John Mitchell 2004-03-10 16:01:27 UTC 
X-DCOP-ServiceType=Multi

It's the kpat.desktop from the kmenu.

That looks correct. Any other kpat.desktop, e.g. in ~/.kde or ~/.local ?
Comment 4 John Mitchell 2004-03-10 16:14:55 UTC 
I erased ~/.local and searched ~/.kde and could not find any other kpat.desktop files.

It works fine if I run it from the K Menu but after i copy the file from the menu to the desktop and click on it kpat runs but freezes the desktop.

RMB doesn't work, no icons things like that.
