Hi,

I've recently upgraded to suse 8.2 and discovered that kscd won't restart after being quit with the x windows close button. The interface disappears, but the process is still alive and keeps other kscd sessions from starting. Quitting with "ctrl+q" or the button on the interface works fine. Also, this error message is repeated about 15 times when kscd is started:

kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action.

This is using kscd 1.3.3, kde 3.1.1, and SuSE 8.2.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

There are a couple of ways to do this.
