Hi list,

I am running debian testing, Sadly to tell, that my latest KDE update did
overwrite my personal setting in kde. This included the following things:

- wallpaper was set to standard

- all widgets were gone and had to reactivate manually (although, they were
shown as installed)

- icon size in taskbar is changed to big (48) and cannot decreased any more

- powerdevil: option profiles disappeared (I already sent a bugreport for this)

I suppose, this should not happen, as one of debians rules is, never to change
personal settings. I suppose, this is a bug! I would be happy to file a
bugreport, but I do not know, what is responsible for it. I guess, it is the
packagers team, but I cannot prove.

Does someone know more? Besides, this happens on all of my machines (amd64 and
i386).

Thank you for reading this.

Hans

In addition to ask here, consider posting in debian-kde where Debian kde
users land:

I've seen these kind of things from time time also in GNOME when using
testing. For instance, N-M loses the password for the AP and I have to
retype it again or the desktop background that returns to the default
while I have a solid color set... but I don't tend to report these
things, they are annoying but nothing serious (like would be dissapearing
e-mails or your own files, for instance).

The more KDE users can read from your comments the more chances for you
to get useful feedback :-)

Maybe KDE is more stable than GNOME in this regard :-?

And no one can bite you for that...

... but then it would be better that you list the updated packages so
others can compare or choose whether if update them now or wait for a bit
;-)
