[Bug 476027] New: Any Window Freezes in a Plasma Desktop in a Non-specific Environment with Error Response But no Backtrace
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476027
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 ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: ---
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6
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.)

In this instance I was able to capture a bactrace that was presented on the freeze of the plasma desktop. I hope this enable you to discover more about the instability error described above which offers no backtrace - only a terminate Option in the Warning Window that is out of focus as above

I have included this as a possible help due to desktop instability - I concede it may well be a Khelp center crash on building an index - please advise if this file debug is more importantly logged as an bug with khelpcenter

If you want me to close and re-test in 11.1 KDE4.1 - Please close as wontfix and I will try to recreate the same issue - I know you are having nightmares with KDE4.0 and much has been fixed in KDE4.1 - Please Advise - Note new screen shot message
