You never sent that information to the BTS, so all that was in there was my
report and the other reports saying that it didn't work for them either. If
your positive report had been there I might not have upgraded.

makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data
loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts
of users who use the package.
At the time I thought it was failing everywhere and even now we know it fails
on non-KDE which makes it unusable for a large percentage of users. Knowing
that it works on KDE and the fact that it's a KDE tray thing, maybe the
severity should be important or serious.

Yes you are right, sorry about that.

It starts but doesn't bring anything up, I guess because of the lack of KDE
panel to go in?

After running kcpuload I'm not longer seeing the kbuildsycoca errors (in the
original report) when I invoke kteatime from a shell. Now it just sits there
and doesn't bring up any windows.
Can I expect to be able to run these things (kteatime and kcpuload) if I don't
have a KDE panel? Sorry I am not KDE literate, I was just looking for a decent
timer application. If not then maybe change the line in the extended
description to read
"KTeaTime sits in the KDE system tray which requires a KDE panel."
And even then, if there is no KDE tray present when invoked it should probably
point out that the tray is required. Otherwise how are users expected to know
it's not just a bug?
One other thing I noticed, kcpuload puts itself in the background and returns
the prompt, kteatime doesn't. It might be nice to make them consistant (but
that's another wishlist bug).
Thanks,
