           Summary: Config files get lost if disk is full
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gerrit at visscher.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I was compiling OpenOffice (which uses up a LOT of disk space) and my disk ran
out of space. My system is on one bis partition (which is my fault, I know) so
there was no space left on $HOME. After Kopete said it could not save the
history for a newly opened chat, I realised that there was a problem. I deleted
some temporary files, but KDE got unstable and I was logged out. So far I can
live with it, but after I logged in again, my bookmarks, (only) some of the
Kopete configuration, Kmail config and lots of other configs (background image)
were lost.

How can this happen? If a new configuration cannot be saved because the disk is
full, the old one should not get lost.

A friend told me, he had the same thing on his installation (also Gentoo, KDE
4.3.0).
