Nothing changed in configuration, only ran update to 10.2, and gave described symptoms. amm 4691 4676 0 21:36 ? 00:00:01 kwin [kdeinit] -session 117f000002000113433521900000040370000_1165953127_753512 Apparently, I use kwin. Note that the kickerrc comes from the present moment, so *after* I have disabled auto-hide (as it doesn't work for me, and it's quite unpleasant to work without the kicker..). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

And all that works as it should here with that config file, as far as I can say. So, what exactly is the problem again? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227512 ------- Comment #7 from Olaf.Amm@fmi.fi 2006-12-14 16:04 MST ------- Ok, I did some more testing here. After changing the kicker configuration several times to different settings within OpenSuSE 10.2, now changing it back to auto-hide seems to work. Anyway, after updating from SuSE 9.3 (where auto-hide was set), and without those several times of changing the settings, the bug appeared as described above. (And it appeared consistently, also after re-booting and re-login several times.) So maybe the problem rather lies in the update of the kicker configuation files when coming from SuSE 9.3, than in the kicker functionality itself? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Anyway, the fact is that the symptoms just as described above have appeared directly after the upgrade.

"Resolved" - no way. It happened again, kicker crashed, didn't come out of auto-hide after that. kickerrc unchanged. No obvious reason (I had the calendar open, but I guess that shouldn't be considered as a reason...). I saved the crash messages, maybe that finally helps you to fix the bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It's a random crash without any debug symbols and you seem to be the only one having the problem. You can install debuginfos and run kicker through valgrind - perhaps that will give you something useful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Unfortunately, the way to receive the requested info goes beyond my technical knowledge (especially without any more detailed instructions), so I cannot provide it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
