[PATCH] kcmoduleinfo [WAS] Plugin linking problem

[Rafael Fernández López]

OK you have a plugin in foo.so, and you want to load it as foo.so, so you
removed the

Well, as they have different factories, they have different entry points.
That's the thing, both .desktop files provide X-KDE-FactoryName, so each one
enters through that symbol.

Does it really work? Do you have one plugin playing both roles? Please run

nah, I don't understand chinese :). It works. Yeah. Here you can find the
code:

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I smell a breakage here.


I hope you're wrong. It is not breaking anything here :)
