Package: kinit Version: 5.47.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
With the latest version of the KDE desktop available for Debian Buster it appears to be impossible to launch multiple instances of applications from the panel. For example, if I explore klauncher -> applications -> internet I find two web browsers (Firefox ESR and konqueror) and if explore klauncher -> applications -> system I find konsole. If I right click on any of those applications two of the options are "Pin to task manager" and "Add to panel (Widget)". The first of those works, but only allows you to launch a single instance of the application at a given time from the task manager which is not useful to me since I need to launch multiple instances (especially for konsole but sometimes for the browsers as well as other KDE applications). According to web sources "Add to panel (Widget)" should give me what I want which is a separate panel launcher for each application that I use a lot such as Firefox ESR, konqueror, and konsole, but this functionality does not work (i.e., no launchers appear on the panel for any of these applications). I routinely configured such individual launchers on the panel (by a method which I cannot remember exactly, but I think it was drag and drop from klauncher to panel) when I was running a KDE desktop for Debian Buster a couple months ago so I am pretty sure one of the KDE desktop upgrades in the last month or so clobbered this long-standing and important individual application launcher capability for the panel. N.B. It is possible klauncher is fine, and instead the updated panel is screwing up this capability. However, I have chosen to report this bug for kinit because I know klauncher belongs to that package while I have been unable to discover what application runs the panel so I cannot figure out which package the panel belongs to. But I encourage you to shift this bug report to the package containing the panel if that is where the fault lies. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages kinit depends on: ii kio 5.47.0-1 ii libc6 2.27-5 ii libcap2 1:2.25-1.2 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.25-1.2 ii libkf5configcore5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5crash5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5service-bin 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5service5 5.47.0-1 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.47.0-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libqt5dbus5 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libqt5gui5 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.6-1 ii libxcb1 1.13-3 kinit recommends no packages. kinit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
