Hello,

I'm trying to fix bug 130772 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130772):
-------------------
Bug 130772: running KInfoCenter from prompt causes error message
Version:           3.5.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) 
 
 To reproduce 
 - press your favorite shortkey for "run program" 
 - type "kinfocenter" and press "enter" 
 - kinfocenter is started 
 - an error message pops up: "KDEInit cannot start KInfoCenter" [bug #1] 
 - the popup is behind the "run program" dialog so it cannot be seen immediately [bug #2] 
------------------

The most obvious and easiest fix for this is the following patch:

-> But the side effect of this patch is now, that the "Report Bug" functionality won't work any longer, since bug reports are tried to be sent to the "kinfocenter" module,  while in the bug system it's still named "kcminfo".
Can we add a "kinfocenter" module to bugs.kde.org which maps to "kcminfo" ? Or should we rename "kcminfo" as "kinfocenter" in the KDE bug tracking system ?
Any other proposals or ideas ?

Helge
