            Bug ID: 432517
           Summary: VLC launched from Dolphin doesn't close properly if
                    there's certain widget
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I don't know whether the issue is with KDE or VLC, but VLC doesn't close
properly if it was launched from dolphin after something in the session had
previously activated the media player widget.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put some media player widget in some KDE panel (the ones that have a big
play/stop button).
2. Launch JuK or some other music player. Optionally play something with it and
then stop it.
3. Launch dolphin.
4. From dolphin, click on some video file to open it with VLC.
5. Close the VLC window through the 'X' icon.

OBSERVED RESULT
VLC should close.

EXPECTED RESULT
The VLC window closes, but the underlying process remains active and prevents
from further launching VLC windows from dolphin (i.e. if I click some other
video file from dolphin, it won't launch a VLC window until I manually kill the
VLC process). Launching VLC directly from the command line doesn't produce any
problems with either terminating the process after clicking the 'X', or
launching while another VLC process is active.
