[KDE 4] plasma logout action does nothing

[numerodix]

Trying to log out of the KDE4 desktop by selecting the Logout action from the menu does nothing. This line is written to ~/.xsession-errors
plasma(3028) Kickoff::UrlItemLauncher::Private::openUrl: Opening item with URL "leave:/logout"

The same result for Shutdown and Restart actions.

Using KDE4's global keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del for Logout has no effect.

I should mention this is very annoying, because changes made to plasma configuration during the desktop session are lost on exit. Such as adding/removing widgets, changing the size of the panel etc.

Are you on Hardy or Gutsy?
Does this still happen on KDE 4.0.3?

Thank you for your report.

( Might be releated to bug 204752 )

I'm on gutsy and yes it's still there in 4.0.3.

Is this still a problem in KDE 4.1.2 in Intrepid? It works rather flawlessly for me.

This is happening to me in kde4.2. However, sometimes the logout happens minutes after requesting it. Even so, plasma settings are lost. I can't currently save plasma settings at all; even when logout works, plasma settings are lost.

Not 100% repeatable, since I have other computer where this doesn't happen. Both are Intrepid + kde4.2

Please instruct on what could be checked for further diagnosis.
