[arch-general] KDE: shortcut configuration broken
Hi archers and KDE users, Can I have confirm of a strange behaviour in my KDE? I can't open, in KControl (the control center), the shortcut and gestures configuration dialog: when i double-click the item, KControl freezes. Sometimes the configuration center for shortcuts opens up itself after a lot of time. What's happening? Bug? Other? Enlight me please. Bl@ster

It seems to be working OK for me. Do you get any messages if you run "systemsettings" from a console? Paul
I'm sorry, now it seems to be ok for me too. A reboot, and all is over :) Kmixer wasn't in its place, and I didn't manage to launch softwares with my custom shortcuts; now I can. I will inform you if it happens again, thanks for your feedback! Bl@ster

It sounds like maybe kded4 crashed. If it happens again, try checking to see if the kded4 process is running. If it is, it might be hanging using 100% CPU. This has happened to me in the past, and has various side-effects. You can deal with that with: # killall kded4 && kded4 Paul
Oh I see. Thanks for the tip Paul! :) Bl@ster
