Package: kdelibs-bin Version: 4:4.6.5-2 Severity: important I had okular installed to do some testing on libpoppler even though I normally use GNOME. okular had registered itself in /etc/mailcap, and when I tried to view a PDF from mutt, okular started instead of evince.
However, since okular was the first KDE process started this session, all of the various kde daemons, including kbuildsycoca, decided to write to my terminal. Even after exiting okular, they continue to write to the terminal, which essentially means that that terminal cannot be used anymore, since everything is overwritten with text from kde daemons. The Unix way is to not say anything unless there is an error. Regardless, starting a graphical process on a terminal does not give its child processes the right to continue writing to the terminal far after the original process exits. Please patch any daemon started by any KDE program either to exit after all KDE processes have exited or to run completely silently or (preferably) both. I am really rather annoyed by this terminal takeover that happens anytime I accidentally start a KDE-based program. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-rc4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kdelibs-bin depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libkdecore5 4:4.6.5-2 ii libkdeui5 4:4.6.5-2 ii libkjsapi4 4:4.6.5-2 ii libkjsembed4 4:4.6.5-2 ii libkrosscore4 4:4.6.5-2 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.7.3-8 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.7.3-8 ii libqtcore4 4:4.7.3-8 ii libqtgui4 4:4.7.3-8 ii libsoprano4 2.6.0+dfsg.1-4 ii libstdc++6 4.6.1-13 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-2 kdelibs-bin recommends no packages. kdelibs-bin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
