One of the irritating problems I am having with KDE-4.1.3 on F9 is this: When I first login the firefox icon on the desktop (plasma) works fine in starting firefox when clicked on. Exiting and restarting firefox works most of the time too. BUT at least once or twice a day the icon becomes unresponsive to clicks. Nothing happens.....HOWEVER if one checks the running processes everytime you click on the icon a new process starts but none of them show on my screen!! Login out and back in solves it. Killing all the firefox sessions does not. Also, which may be related is that if as an ordinary user I su to root from konsole window and start a KDE application like konqueror it does not show on my screen even though the application is running. This happens with all applications. Is there a problem with setting the terminal? Thanks
Is this still an issue with 4.1.4?
Yes, but not for F10 and F11 since there is an esd patch (and gtk patch) that fixes this problem and is integrated in to the versions in F10 and F11. I applied the patch to esd and have not had this problem since. If no one else is complaining you can let the bug die. Thanks
As requested am going to kill this one. F9 is just about EOL and its not an issue with F10+
