However, I would like to know if anyone has seen this, and hopefully find out what's going on. I can consistently reproduce the problem under linux 2.6.38-3: every time I click the Apply button somewhere in the System Settings window of KDE, X restarts, and every time I try to log out of KDE, X is killed. I'm not sure where to submit a bug report though. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

I don't know how to tell the difference for sure, but I have the impression it's an X restart, as I briefly see a black screen in the process. I looked at the files /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/kmd.log just after the restart and noticed they have the same time stamps. Does this mean that X was restarted along with kdm? I then tried to log out of KDE and back on again to see if that would change the time stamp of the file /var/log/kmd.log, but not of the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log. When I do that, kdm is simply killed. I have to go to a virtual terminal and restart kdm to get X back. Since I'm having lots of other problems with kde right now which seem to be related with the radeon driver in recent versions of the linux kernel (2.6.37 and 2.6.38), I decided to reboot using an earlier version of the kernel (2.6.32, as shipped by Debian Stable). Under 2.6.32, I don't have any of these problems with kde. But before you say that this is simply the kernel's fault, I should say that kde was working just fine under 2.6.37 and even 2.6.38 up until two or three days ago. I run Debian Testing and noticed there was a bunch of Xorg upgrades three days ago (April 11th); a combination of those and the newer kernels seem to be the culprit. Ah man, this is completely driving me insane. I have used Linux and KDE for more than 12 years now, and this is the first time I really feel like dumping the whole thing in a trash can. I may need to go back to Debian Stable in order to get some work done. Adriano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

KDE restarts everytime I apply new system settings
Hi, I'm having lots of problems with KDE 4.4 over the past few days. One of the problems is that my desktop gets totally corrupted every time my screen saver kicks in. I think this is related to some regression in the radeon driver in kernel 2.6.38 though. The main problem I want to report in this email is that every time I go to System Settings, change something and then click the Apply button, KDE restarts. Just like that. Has anyone seen this? It's just driving me nuts. Thanks, Adriano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
