Hello people, Using the default KDE 4.11.5 with a 13.1 (64-bit) install (all updates applied), I'm having power issues at my new appartment and every time the power cuts, a few odd things happen with my desktop. This is a laptop with a well charged battery, so everything keeps running, but all the systray icons revert from their monochrome default to the old coloured versions, and a couple of auto-hidden items become visible in the tray. My keyboard layout control in this tray disappears along with the possibility to change it via the shortcuts I've set. I noticed that in the Battery Monitor settings, I can't view or change anything because it complains that Power Management isn't running, and that I should go and check that in the Startup/Shutdown options. These options in System Settings cannot be displayed either because it says KDED is not running. There's been numerous power cuts every time I try to switch on my hot plates and cook something so I'm getting used to this now, but I don't know how to restart KDED in such a way that all these settings will return to normal, so I'm forced to reboot each time. Aside from the annoyance, I wonder if this is a bug? Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
