Bug 150582 – KDE 3.5.4 desktop crashes randomly

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paulo J. Matos 2006-10-09 08:00:28 UTC]

I have several icons on desktop and _sometimes_ when I right click an icon, the desktop freezes. KDE keeps running as usual, but desktop is not refreshed anymore. 

Is there any info I can attach to help track down this bug?

Hum, you already tried to re-emerge kdesktop,did you, right?
Do you have any similar behaviour in konqueror? (try to
open /home/user/Desktop folder and rightclick there....).

Seems quite strange as the context menu for rightclicking an icon on the
desktop should be exactly the same for doin it in konqueror....

[Comment 3 Paulo J. Matos 2006-10-09 12:24:27 UTC]

Kdesktop seems to be blocked by kdebase. Moreover, nothing happens if I do it inside Konqueror. But in the desktop after 2 or 3 times it blocks as usual. There are times when I cannot even right-click the desktop once with success.

[Comment 4 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2006-11-24 19:50:48 UTC]

Is this still an issue with kde-3.5.5?

[Comment 5 Paulo J. Matos 2006-11-25 02:57:15 UTC]

It seems that it doesn't happen anymore with 3.5.5.
