KDE apps flood with error dialogs and render system unusable
Like in Komparator. It will flood you with error dialogs when something go wrong on processing large tree with hundreds of thousands files. It will eat all memory with these
dialogs and render the system unusable.
This also applies to Krusader and its 'Synchronize Directories'.
This also applies to KMail (though in non-grave sense) when it checks periodically a mailbox and stumbles constantly on an error.
It is for sure that the list is not complete. This stupid bug is a whip of many KDE apps. The best possible solution is to place a restriction on modal message box to one
possible box at a time (per process) with some helpful behaviour when more such boxes appear simultaneously. Like freezing an application and giving a user ability to abort it or
to continue.
