kdebase-2.1.1-8 Upgrade 7.0 KDE Workstation -> 7.1 qa0407.0 desktopconv results in sustained cpu load of 95% (or more) for 5+ minutes. The X session would not completely start up -- I was left with a gray screen and the mouse pointer. I had to exit the process by typing <ctl-alt-backspace>. Reproducibility: this has happened 2 of 3 times that I have tried to run a KDE session after an upgrade. steps to reproduce: 1- build 7.0 KDE workstation and open a KDE session at least once (before upgrading). 2- upgrade to 7.1 3- startx and see what happens when you ask desktopconv to 'convert' the 1.x config files. This only happens the first time you try to run KDE after the upgrade. I guess desktopconv only tries to run once whether it is successful or not. Any subsequent attempts to startx after the initial failure are successful. All 1.X configurations were lost.
This was fixed in time for 7.1
