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?
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?
Closing due to inactivity. Should work fine in 3.1.2.
