           Summary: file dialogs freeze when used
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: philippe at gcal.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

File dialogs (Open/Save/Attach) freeze when Open-Save-Attach button is clicked.
This occurs on any application that use the dialogs. I've seen it with Kate,
Konqueror, Kmail. It also happens with the Quick Access dialog. It may be
intermittent althought with the last upgrade I made -
25-Feb-09/intrepid-backports - it is becoming pretty consistent. Every it
happens, the app that called the dialog dies once the dialog is forcibly
terminated. And the krunner process always dies with it (or at least, I find
krunner dead after I do a ps ax). Sometimes, even the plasma process dies.

I have started killing krunner (kquitapp krunner) upon starting KDE. The file
dialogs then behave normally. However I have not been doing that long enough to
know what the downsides are.

For the moment I have no more info.

Regards
Philippe
