Public bug reported: I use KDE 4.7.4 with the global menu Plasma applet.
I was using Firefox. I opened the global menu. I hovered over the Bookmarks menu. After a moment, instead of displaying the menu, X crashed, taking everything with it, returning me to the KDM login screen. This is really bad. All I have to do is accidentally hover over the bookmarks menu and X instantly crashes, taking my entire X session down with it. This is a major data-loss bug. Perhaps it is caused by the size of the bookmarks menu. Although I don't really use it anymore, since I use tags and the "awesome bar" instead, it has 1,986 items in it at the moment--sometimes the default in Firefox sticks new bookmarks in there without asking. (On my other system I moved all the items out of the menu into Unsorted, but good ol' Firefox Sync doesn't move bookmarks when you move them.) As a workaround I will try moving all the items out of there--but this still should not crash X and everything else.
