Description Lorenzo Paulatto 2006-02-17 13:57:17 UTC 
I don't know if this problem is still present in newer versions of ksysguard, but I guess it is.

1. Open ksysguard --processtable
2. enter a pretty much strict search string in the search field
    e.g. Searching "ine" would find both and only xinetd and kaffeine 
3. Select the first process of the list, than SHIFT+CLICK on the last one, in order to select them all
4. Press "kill"

Look at the confirm pop-up: you will notice that also the "hidden" processes have ben selected
    e.g. all the processes with a PID between the xinted and the kaffeine ones

A user who doesn't pay attention will probably kick himself out of kde loosing all the unsaved work.
