You misunderstood me. Right now the recommended solution *is* KService and ksycoca. It is supposed to work, and works for many cases. I didn't have time to look into this specific bug report, but unit tests pass and many people run a plasma 2 desktop based on KService and ksycoca. I'm just saying that in the long term I want to be able to replace this technology with something else, but that's just long-term architectural thinking. For now, use it and debug it ;-) - David ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
