Hi Sorry, rather a long complicated email but I need some help debugging a plasma panel issue, please. Sometimes the panel on my desktop kde session gets into a state where, upon login, its not quite maximized widthwise, has a flashing white block at the right hand end and is very unresponsive. At this point, plasma-desktop and kwin are taking 20% cpu each and X is taking 60%. The way I fix this (temporarily) is to kill plasma-desktop and remove .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and restart plasma-desktop. This is happening with kde 4.5.5 on Fedora 14 x86_64. Normally I use a customised system plasma-desktop-appletsrc which adds a few launcher buttons and a clock, but the same thing happens without my customization. I think the problem is related to running a kde nx session from my laptop. When that session terminates it seems to rewrite .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and its that file that causes a problem next time I log in on the desktop. That session runs at 1274x734 which is just a bit smaller in the X-dimension than the 1280x1024 screen that the the plasma panel occupies on my desktop (actually that is a dual screen setup but, of course, the panel only occupies once screen. There is plausibly an 8-pixel gap between the end of the plasma panel and the edge of the screen. I'd really like to try to pin down whats going on, but for a start, the format of the plasma-desktop-appletsrc is not obvious. Is that documented anywhere? If I could understand that file, maybe I could see whats causing the problem. Oh, and I just determined it doesnt happen if I switch off desktop effects. Thanks for an pointers or help anyone might be able to offer in sorting this out. This is, I think, essentially the same problem that my colleague reported at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258662 Roderick _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
