Do you know how to restart only kdeinit4 without restarting the whole session? Or the KIOs processes only? > Indeed there is no such problem after a complete restart of the session. Ok.

I am therefore reopening the bug so that we keep track of this issue. Thanks for you help. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
