           Summary: no error message and no program either
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bkorb at gnu.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

$ kmixctrl
$ ps
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
12749 pts/0    00:00:00 bash
28073 pts/0    00:00:00 ps
$ kmixctrl
$ echo $?
0


I've filed this against "general" because there needs to be general testing
that *NO* kde utilities should silently exit with status 0 and yet fail to run.
Obviously, "kmixctrl" specifically has the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run all utilities in ways that they won't run.  Verify that they say something.

Actual Results:  
Deafening silence.

Expected Results:  
A message saying why they cannot continue
