           Summary: Prevent KDE apps from loosing their settings and data
                    ever
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dinth at dinth.pl


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

One of greatest things in KDE4 is lots of configuration and presonalisation
options. But unfortunately, spending lots of time on personalisation of
applications is now completly unprofitable. Im not doing anything special on my
system, running on freshly installed, stable Arch with KDE 4.2.1 - only
checking email, IM-ing, checking RSS feeds, browsing files with dolphin, etc.
But ive cannot work on this system even half of a day without loosing settings
of some applications.
Every crash causes loosing settings of application - not only this made in
crashed session, but all of them. Akonadi sometimes loose all its settings
(mails, contacts) without any visible reason.
There are lots of bugs which causes loosing data by applications, and even more
causing loosing settings, and i dont think all of them will be repaired soon.

So im proposing some kind of mechanism, which should save application settings
not only when cleanly closing app, but after any change to them, and also
periodicaly (once a half hour?) backing it all up.
