Right-clicking on desktop breaks
Last modified: 2005-10-24 10:05:28 UTC
Right-clicking on the desktop works, but only until I've used 'Run Command" once then it doesn't anymore. Same was seen in preview3 and 4. I deleted my KDE config with preview4 to start from scratch, but same thing still happens.
hmm, your kdesktop still runs? it works fine here. Anything in .xsession-errors that looks interesting?
kdesktop is still running. I don't get anything extra in .xsession-errors when this happens. I deleted it and restarted X, attaching what it.
Created attachment 46032 [details] ~/.xsession-errors
SHAPE extension missing? What kind of funny X server do you use? Can you try with normal X.org?
I really wonder about this bug too.

It's the default x.org that is installed, perhaps my ati driver is doing something funky? I'm using the fglrx driver but without the kernel module, as I did in 9.3 as well without problems.
I just upgraded to beta1 on a different x86-64 workstation, and it shows the exact same behaviour. There's no X weirdness going on with this machine, like missing SHAPE extension and so on.
Changing to beta2, exists there as well.
did you meanwhile find out if your X driver change mattered?
It did not change anything. As I wrote in comment #8, I see the exact same thing on a different machine.
Happens in beta3 as well.
btw: does it start working again if you close that xterm?
No, I should have mentioned that. It was one of the first things I tried, since I figured it could be a bug where it was waiting for the process to exit again. But it never comes back.
found..
fixed
Eh ok, so where's the fix?
upstream, in 10.0 and in STABLE
Let me try again - what do I upgrade to verify this fix?
kdebase3. it seems this is not checked in..
AJ, can this be checked in for 10.0 and/or alternatively be shipped as YOU update?
how large is the change?
see /work/src/done/10.0/kdebase3 its a two liner which is rather trivial in itself and I added another totally obvious buffer-overflow fix. I really like to get this checked in at least..
submitted patchinfo accordingly
released
