I'm currently running kde 4.2.4 and I haven't experienced the issues you mentioned, have you tried start from an empty configuration (removing $HOME/.kde4/)? On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 12:50 AM, Edgar Kalkowski wrote:

Hi list!

I am using current KDE 4.2.4 from core and am experiencing these two little things that are not really disturbing but rather annoying:

1) Every time I quit okular it crashes and shows a crash message. A quick search of the web brought up that this was “a minor regression in kdelibs“ and should be fixed by now (sorry, I don’t remember the actual site I read this on). So my question is: Is anyone experiencing the same problem and has a fix? Or do we really just need to wait for an update of KDE? If so: Is an update planned or do we have to wait for 4.3 or 4.2.5?

2) Every time KDE starts up it shows (after a little while) the following message in a native X dialog: “Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation.” If I click on “OK” or kill the message window X restarts. A web search on this one revealed nothing really helpful so now I’m just leaving the message window open on an unused desktop. When doing this everything seems to work normal and as expected. In fact “ps -elf | grep ksmserver” reveals that the specified program is indeed running. Does anyone get this error, too, and perhaps knows how to fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Hi! Thank you for your responses! I tried a new user account with a fresh .kde4 configuration and the two things seem to work there. So I think I’ll have to delete .kde4 for my main account, too, but I’ll wait until I have a free weekend or so to copy all the things I need over to the new config. Is it planned to do this after every kde upgrade or will the config be stable at some point? I’m also actually using the qtcurve theme but my version is 0.65.0 so that should not be the problem.

Are you using the QtCurve theme by chance? With version <0.65.0 I had the same problem (also Gwenview crashed), but after the update to 0.65.0 I haven't seen this anymore. Maybe it could have been another update I did in the meantime, but I think QtCurve could cause such problems.

Kind regards,
