Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.4.1 20040831 Red Hat 3.4.1-10 (Fedora core test) OS: Linux This is a really strange bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At some point in time various KDE components stop working 1. The taskbar shows only some of the windows that are open. Specifically after the crash it will only show the the windws that were in the active virtual Desktop, even after a Desktop switch 2. The System tray won't work after a relogin 3. The Window list button will not work 4. The Pager suffers the same problems the taskbar has perhaps there are more that i didnt see The problem started after a recent CVS upgrade. The taskbar, sytem tray and pager problems are fixed if i close the appropriate applets and reload them The Window list problem is fixed when i run somthing like: dcop kicker kicker restart I have tried removing completely the old configuration and making a new one but after 1 or two relogins in the system the same problem arises, so i guess it's not a problem on old configuration files not being parsed corectly The only thing is that I have used the kiosktool (also recently updated) to minimise the configuration steps needed so It could be related to that a really really weird bug Thanks in advance
I've seen the same thing, and traced it to the immodule patch(es) redhat/fedora puts in their qt package.
There was some identical-sounding breakage due to some patch SUSE put in triggering an X bug... Seli, could you please share the details?
It's true right before updating from CVS i did an update from the 3.3.2 to qt-3.3.3 from fedora binaries I do have qt-copy from CVS. Do you think updating from that will sort out the problems? Right now i cleaned up my old configuration again, (I kept them safe of course) and made i clean install. Seems to work but then again, i thought the same thing right before every crash
