           Summary: Plasma crashes and doesnt recover when I try to lock
                    from app launcher
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: esampaio gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

A few times (about 10-20% of the attempts) when I am trying to lock my notebook via application launcher, the plasma crashes and does not recover like with other crashes I experienced.
I have to kill X via ctrl+alt+backspace.
Then, when I try to re-login the loading animation freezes on the desktop icon and displays an error message I cant remember now, but says something about the access to .ICEauthority file.
I've found out the .ICEauthority owner is changed to root and I can only log in back to KDE4 when sudo chown the .ICEauthority back to my user. 

Hope to help you guys, rock on KDE4 is ruling!!
