           Summary: kdelibs4c2a is making trouble
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.2
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hans.ullrich at loop.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Dear maintainers,

as many older KDE-applications and addons are still needing kdelibs4c2a out of
KDE-3.5.XX in KDE-4.XX, many services are started twice (or double). 

This is causing some problems (it is making the system slow, and it causes the
load of lots of unecessary processes).

Please let me explain: For example, there are 2 processes started (kded and
kded4) which do the same. The old one is started through kdelibs4c2a , the
other one through kdelibs5. This IMO is not necessary, isn't it?

The same is with the process kdeinit and kdeinit4, both do the same, but
loading both needs unnecessary cpu power.


The third thing, I discovered, is that a lot of processes (20 and more) named
kio-httpd are started (each uses 4M of RAM), which seem caused of the described
problem above.

So, as there are still lots of applications (amarok is one of them, kpowersave,
and lots more) which still need kdelibs4c2a, it is a big problem, to change
them all. Otherwise, users should not be forced to remove them, just because
they want to use KDE-4!

So, my idea is, to merge kdelibs5 and kdelibs4c2a, so you get ONE library for
all, or , the other option might be, to eliminate all functions out of
kdelibs4c2a, which are already done by kdelibs5.

If this is already fixed in KDE-4.3, forget about this bugreport.

Thanks for reading anyway!


Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
