Public bug reported:
Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Binary package hint: kdesktop
During right mouse button clicks on icons on the desktop, kdesktop freezes
nearly every day. This seems to be a regression bug of KDE-3.5.2. A '-9' signal
is necessary to kill kdesktop. This is extremely annoying since switching to an
other task and back to the desktop then results in capturing all of keyboard
input and only the mouse is working. In this case, ksysguard seems the only
alternative to kill kdesktop without requiring keyboard input. This bug is not
exactely reproducible and produces no backtrace but is extremely annoying
especially for novice users since without the knowledge how to kill kdesktop, a
logout from KDE can't be avoided.
I'm not sure if this could be a timing issue between the pop-up if the mouse
pointer rests on the icon or is related to newly created icons on the desktop.
However, this bug also hit me with 'older' icons.
