Well, I don't have ANY development skills at all. I had a few months course on C# and then stopped. Even with that basic knowledge I managed to modify the source of gnome-screenshot to remove the flash that was created when taking screenshots. So, if I can do that with just my basic knowledge for a different programming language, you should be able to track the culprit for this bug and for bug id 354802. Frankly I'm more interested in 354802 getting fixed and it could be tracked by making KDE to log absolutely everything that is happening at startup and then search for which module exactly is modifying the desktop config file to make icons scramble and make the desktop longer in horizontal length. Then search the code for the faulty module and fix it. I thought you as developers (I mean all of KDE teams, not just you in particular) would have already thought about logging the startup activity. The same method can be used to track the problem with the current bug we're commenting here - 360478. I apologize if my previous post sounded harsh but try to see it from my point of view as a user - it's like a professional mechanic from the service of your car brand to tell you they can't repair your car and you have to do it yourself when you have absolutely no knowledge of the hardware in your car. I'm pretty sure you'll have the same reaction to such a statement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
