          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #281331 +++

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Installation of any applet that is written in python lead to silent crash (or
program end) of kdeinit4 plasma-desktop.

This lead to the state, that after insering of usb keys, or harddisks mounting
of these devices is impossible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install python applet on desktop/panel like:
veromix:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Veromix+-+volume+control+%2B+soundmenu?content=116676
tail: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/tail?content=118067
After that, try to mount inserted usb stick

Actual Results:  
The usb key will no be mounted, and on log there will appear following message:
console-kit-daemon[2097]: WARNING: Couldn't read /proc/2766/environ: Failed to
open file '/proc/2766/environ': No such file or directory 

where mentioned proc (in that case 2766) is:
kdeinit4 plasma-desktop, which silently disappeared at the moment of starting
of the python applet. 

Expected Results:  
Normal mount of usb stick.

It happen frequently, that if there are active python applets, the login
procedure to kde is taking very long time, and plasma-desktop is taking 100% of
cpu usage. killing of plasma-desktop, and restarting it after few minutes helps
in most cases.
