That doesn't work for me. I can click ad infinitum and the thing
just sits there, no reaction.
Can anyone tell me whether the following patch makes any sense? I
grepped through the source code for shutdown, and it seemed to me
(though I may be totally wrong here) that the code for "kapp.cpp"
in kdelibs2/kdecore was incomplete for the case where ksmserver
is already running. This is a pretty random shot -- I'm not at
all familiar with the internal architecture of kde.
Right now I'm located 30 km away from the machine in question, so I
can't check the local desktop until Thursday. When I type "startkde"
from a remote machine I get a window with the KDE2 desktop on it;
without the following patch the logout button doesn't work, with the
patch the logout button at least brings up the logout dialog box,
but doesn't do much after that. That may be some artifact of
running it remotely, however.
The patch is for the kdelibs2.0.1 source, for the file kdecore/kapp.cpp
Before sending it to the kde people, I thought I'd try this list :)
