Neither with KDE 4.6.2 from experimental-snapshots or the newer packages from experimental, which I recommend you to upgrade to. > In .xsession-errors (which I have attached from my last login to kde), > I see a lot of > > plasma-desktop(20319)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid > size QSizeF(0, 0) I don't think these are a crash problem, since I have them as well: martin@shambhala:~> grep -i frame .xsession-errors plasma-desktop(3217)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma-desktop(3217)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma-desktop(3217)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma-desktop(3217)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) ^C > > This culminates in > > QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method > LauncherApplet::toolTipHidden() [/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub] virtual > Soprano::ODBC::Connection::~Connection() Q > Thread(0xfd43f0) I think these are debug output and do not indicate an error.

I don't seem to have: martin@shambhala:~> grep polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 .xsession- errors So whats your polkit versions? Mine is: shambhala:~#130> apt-show-versions | egrep "(polkit|policykit)" libpolkit-agent-1-0/wheezy uptodate 0.101-4 libpolkit-backend-1-0/wheezy uptodate 0.101-4 libpolkit-dbus2 0.9-4 installed: No available version in archive libpolkit-gobject-1-0/wheezy uptodate 0.101-4 libpolkit-grant2 0.9-4 installed: No available version in archive libpolkit-qt-1-0/wheezy uptodate 0.95.1-1 libpolkit-qt-1-1/experimental uptodate 0.99.0-2 libpolkit2 0.9-4 installed: No available version in archive policykit 0.9-4 installed: No available version in archive policykit-1/wheezy uptodate 0.101-4 policykit-1-gnome/wheezy uptodate 0.101-2 polkit-kde-1/experimental uptodate 0.99.0-1 Hmmm, seems I collected some cruft here. I think i safely can remove any of which there is no version in the official archives anymore. So my suggestion: 1) Try to clear up that PolicyKit error message. I would specifially look at: shambhala:~> dpkg -S /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication- agent-1 polkit-kde-1: /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 Upgrade this to the version of experimental that I have (see above). If its already at that version, maybe some dependencies of policykit need to be upgraded as well. Remember Wheezy is not officially supported for those KDE packages, so you might need some additionally stuff from unstable. 2) Make sure you really have all of KDE 4.6.2? Are there any packages still at an older version? I suggest you upgrade everything to the stuff in experimental. Hmmm, it seems that I need some cron-job or logrotate to clean this up from time to time: martin@shambhala:~#1> ls -lh .xsession-errors -rw------- 1 martin martin 8,5G 30.
