I recently got a new laptop (a ThinkPad X220 with Intel i915 video card) and am running into a problem where KDE plasma-desktop will crash periodically. The bottom bar disappears and the background goes black (there aren't windows open over it) and after a second or so it starts back up again and seems to work fine for a while until it happens again (maybe every 10 minutes. I have seen similar behavior with SuSE 11.1 (I think), but in that case my home partition was full - there is plenty of space now. I am running fully updated SuSE 11.4 KDE Base version 4.6.0-6.6.2-x86_64 from OpenSUSE-11.4-11.4-0 kdebase4-workspace is 4.6.0-10.15.1-x86_64 I have looked around on this, and can't seem to find anything, but I am not really sure what I am looking for. I have turned off all desktop effects. Logs can be found at the bottom of this message. Thanks, -Jesse The logs I am seeing in .xsession-errors are: plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(127, 0) plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(127, 0) QGridLayoutEngine::addItem: Cell (1, 1) already taken plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(127, 0) plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) Object::connect: No such signal QDBusAbstractInterface::Changed() plasma-desktop(26174)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma-desktop(26174)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/kde4/services/sysinfo.protocol" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line Object::connect: No such slot AbstractItemView::iconSettingsChanged() Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while parsing introspection QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver plasma-desktop(26174)/plasma StatusNotifierItemSource::refreshCallback: DBusMenu disabled for this application KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/bin/plasma-desktop from kdeinit KCrash: Application 'plasma-desktop' crashing...
