[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#755091: libkscreen1: Crash in configuration notification handling

[Ralf Jung]

Package: libkscreen1
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

libkscreen triggers a crash in kded4 and/or plasma-desktop when I plug out
the only active monitor (which should result in the internal screen of my
laptop being re-enabled).
I reported this upstream [1] and there is a patch there.

Please consider backporting that patch: While KDE has fairly good
recovery measures for both of these processes to die, I still fear stuff
will randomly break because its kded4 state got killed, and I sometimes
loose stuff I wrote into the notepad on my desktop that Plasma decided
not to save yet.

Kind regards
Ralf

For some reason, this got worse this morning: I am no longer able to use
kscreen appropriately. When I disable the internal laptop screen (e.g.,
to work on an external screen exclusively), kscreen crashes and the
previous configuration is restored. This makes kscreen completely unusable.

Please consider backporting the patch I mentioned in the initial report:


Kind regards
Ralf
