Bug#908588: kdelibs5-data: HTTP Cache Cleaner starts irritating launch notifier (also makes plasma-desktop busy)
Package: kdelibs5-data
Version: 4:4.14.2-5+deb8u2
Severity: normal
Upon launching Akregator in the Kontact application, "HTTP Cache Cleaner"
starts up with the bouncing notifier cursor and a window entry in the taskbar.
Also plasma-desktop starts running more excitedly. This can be quite annoying.
Apparently, some efforts were made to fix this bug in the past:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108809
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4libs/+bug/60315
The suggested fix is not applied in the Jessie version of the affected file:
/usr/share/kde4/services/http_cache_cleaner.desktop
Here is a link to the fairly trivial change:

(It is mentioned near the end of each of the bug reports given above.)
It may be the case that this fixes the problem, although with the offending
program having been run recently, the program might not be invoked again when
I re-run Akregator, so it remains possible that it will recur in future. I
will attempt to monitor this and provide additional information.
Thanks for packaging KDE for Debian.
