One post-4.5.0 patch to fix the freeze of kded on first use of the network:/ kio-slave
Dear packagers, please consider backporting the following commit to your 4.5.0 packages: http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1160391&view=revision It fixes a total freeze of kded if the network:/ kio-slave is first invoked. The kio-slave calls its kded module networkwatcher via D-Bus, kded loads the module on demand (as configured since 4.5), but the module itself also does a D-Bus call in its initialisation which seems blocked by a mutex hold by kded due to the D-Bus call which triggered the load of the module initially -> deadlock. Sorry about the late notification. I am short of time and with messed up computers currently, so my short testing missed to see this in time, and it seems nobody else who tested the network:/ kio-slave was ambitious enough to report this. Will also blog about this problem.

I apologize for the BIC in libkonq. The reason why I didn't increase the soversion is simple: I didn't think about it. Note, however, that KNewMenu is no longer used in any of the kde svn code. >From Modestas' `apt-cache rdepends libkonq5` list, I see only kmess which could be affected by this. OK, and of course an update of libkonq without updating older kdebase stuff like konqueror... I'm perfectly fine with increasing the SOVERSION now. 5a or 6? I wasn't aware that one could use letters in the SOVERSION :) -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by Nokia to work on KDE, incl.
