Okay, the problems were present in beta1 too and I've tried to find solutions to the problems (time permitting) but hasn't succeeded so far.

1. Whenever I log out, I get a crash window complaining that plasma has crashed with signal 6. The problem is, I don't know if it's a known bug in plasma itself or if it's due to some third-party plasmoids I'm using or even a combination. I'd say the latter since it happens on a fresh user as well without the third-party ones in use only not as frequently. When I use my regular account it happens all the time.

The third-party plasmoids I'm using are Stask, playwolf, quick-access, yawp, and device manager.

Anyway, which debug-packages would be useful to try to narrow down the problem? Would kdelibs4-debuginfo be sufficient?

2. The systray. Every second login (on average) two icons refuses to show up, namely klipper and knemo. This might be a session-manager problem though.

3. The new option of having a separate dashboard and linking activities to virtual desktops. Everytime I try to turn on this feature, plasma crashes. See problem one for trouble-shooting problems...

Anyway, what I'm basically asking is: are these known problems? I must admit I'm not a fan of how the search-function at bugs.kde.org works...it can be an exercise in futility to find relevant already-reported bugs to be honest.

try `kquitapp plasma-desktop` without logging out to see if it crashes then as well

and kdebase and possibly kdeplasma-addons

to confirm if it's session management, look in the System Activity window (ctrl+esc) to see if they are running.

i fixed that just today.

i know, it's a pain. but it's what we have to work with right now.

It does, but for some reason not all the time as it does when logging out.

I've installed those, but I also needed the qt4-debuginfo as well as glibc-debuginfo and kdebase4-workspace-debuginfo (just the way Suse has split the packages up I guess). Anyway, now that the crash-handler tells me the crash-report is useful I'll file a proper bug for it.

Great to hear!
