           Summary: Any Window Freezes in a  Plasma Desktop in a
                    Non-specific Environment with Error Response But no
                    Backtrace
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: KDE4 Workspace
        AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de

From time to time just about any application Window will freeze and the user is
sent and out of focus warning to either continue or terminate.
Not only has the application Window frozen and issued a warning - until the
user terminates that warning window NO other application will open on the
desktop, however the same opened application is really open and sits in the
task manager. Even an attempt to move the task managers application reference
to the current desktop or another desktop will not display the newly opened
application.

Every attempt to move an application in the task manager, that was opened after
the warning message was issued and not terminated, only brings the warning
message back into focus.

My First suggestion would be to modify and correct the out of Focus Warning and
change warning to capture a backtrace.

If we can change the warning message to include a backtrace we can start to
understand why this is intermittent and what problems that exist in either the
KDE4 Windows Manager or problems with architecture or other Environmental
variables.

Without doing the above, we will never be able to correct the error as it
cannot be reproduced and is so very intermittent, but being devastating in the
problems the freeze Window presents

If this issues has been fixed in 11.0 via online update the the problem is
still present and not fixed.

Please Advise - This bug effects the total KDE Installation of opensuse so
logging it upstream is not going to help anyone.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Window with title "Search Preferences" is not responding. This window belongs
to application settings (PID=10,494, hostname=localhost).
Do you wish to terminate this application? (All unsaved data in this
application will be lost.)
