Description Nick 2003-03-21 21:13:47 UTC
when the desktop is configured to open an application menu for a right click.  The 
exact behavior is: 
 
1. Right click 
2. Application menu appears for circa 0.3 sec 
3. Application menu disapears imediately 
 
There is no stdout to help, and kde doesn't recognize the "crash".  The kicker panel 
doesn't crash, by the way.  Docking a "K" button into the kicker, successfully produces 
an application menu when clicked.  What could this be?

I really don't know... 
If you configure the desktop to display something else (ie the desktop menu) on rmb, does 
that work? 
If you configure a different mouse button (left or middle) to display the application menu when 
clicking on the desktop, does that work? 
What's up with the "kicker crashes" bug subject, since you say kicker doesn't crash - and why 
should it crash, from your description of the issue it has nothing to do with kicker anyway? 
Comment 2 Nick 2003-03-22 16:05:18 UTC
Yeah, I've <sigh> configured my mouse button to be the desktop menu again.  
There's nothing quite like an root app menu though...  As to why this is labelled as 
kicker crash:   
The root desktop menu uses the same backend as the "K" special button in the 
kicker panel.  You can see this if you see this if you kill kicker, and then try to 
open an app menu, using a mouse-button, or alt-F1.  What I wrote was the 
"kicker *panel* doesn't crash".  So, because the "K" menu is part of kicker, and 
the "K" menu is crashing, this can be classified as a problem with kicker.  (there is 
no "kmenu" app to classify this under)  As you know, kicker is one of the 
fundamental package of kdebase.  This association is the reason I classified this 
bug as normal rather then minor. 
I've remerged qt, kdelibs, and kdebase, and the problem persists.  Do you get the 
same behavior on your system?

Seeing the same problem...

No matter what button you assign the Application Menu, you get the menu to flash up and then disappear.

Also, if you assign anything else (Window List Menu, Desktop Menu, or Custom Menu)  to any other button, everything works ok.

It seems to be related only to the Application Menu.

This is new to 3.1.1, as it worked fine in 3.0.5(a), and 3.1.

Can anyone comment if this is a problem in 3.1.2? 
Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-07 13:15:20 UTC
Closing due to inactivity.  Should work fine in 3.1.2.
