I didn't realise there was a configuration for default apps in the "system settings" so everytime i deleted it from the panel, the system put it back the next time i logged in. Never seen that option before, must be new to 4.7
Big Time Back in May I encountered a bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272666 which I was told was 'fixed upstream'. Back when I reported it the bus was fairly constrained, only the one problem with things being written. Now I seem to be suffering from something wider in scope but I suspect a similar root cause. The phenomena was that: "What is being restored seems to be settings from a week or more ago, those settings and items on the panel and systray." So if I delete the session as I did when I deleted all of ~/.kde4 to fix another problem, I can set up new things (widgets, plasmoids) on the panel and screen but they get fixed. Phenomena like: The size and position of the widgets on screen is the same every time I login even if I move, resize delete or add. Phenomena like: the set of programs in the kickoff menu's "recently used" set is the same on every new login regardless of what I ran in a previous session. I've verified the latter by looking at the kickoffrc file. Points to consider: All of ~/.kde4 is writeable If I run "kcmshell4 kcmsmserver" its set to 'restore previous session', as it always has been. The settings I get on each login are all "from a week or more back" when I wiped ~/.kde4 to fix another problem and the first session.after that. Thomas Lubking told me that #272666 as fixed upstream in 4.6.4 Perhaps, but it seems I now have a larger scope version of this. Ian, can you check that your ~/.kde4 is writeable and that you have ("kcmshell4 kcmsmserver") a restore previous sessions setting. Can you see if you are suffering the same problems I am with the kickoff menu. Perhaps we need to reactivate that bug. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
