Jaunty : Preloading of Konqueror propose to restore tabs

[Brice Arnould]

Versions :
 Konqueror 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu2 on Kubuntu Jaunty.

Symptoms:
  Just after loading KDE, a window appears proposing to restore tabs. After clicking on buttons, the windows close and nothing happen.

Steps to reproduce :
 Enable Konqueror preloading
 Open a webpage
 Reboot without closing Konqueror's windows
 The bug will occur just after KDE initialization

Interpretation :
 To preload Konqueror, KDE runs it in the background while doing initialization. The background instance of Konqueror will ask the user if he wants to restore the tabs, but no window will appear if the user choose to do so (because it's a background instance).

Proposed fix :
 When run with "--preload" Konqueror shouldn't try to restore windows.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Please try with updated version and if necessary, give additional information about steps to reproduce this. Thanks.

Hello Brice,
This issue is caused by Konqueror actually crashing at logout (or being killed by KDE's session manager because it wouldn't quit properly in time).
This is also the reason Macro was not able to reproduce it, since konqueror must die one way or another at logout in order to trigger this annoyance.

In general preventing the restore with --preload is probably no good idea, since one still might want to restore the session, just not right after login. Instead the actual restore dialog should be postponed until konqueror actually gets invoked by the user.

Best course of action is to bounce this bug to the KDE developers so we get it changed in KDE itself rather than just Kubuntu. For that purpose someone ought to forward this report to http://bugs.kde.org
Brice, if you have time, it would be very kind if you could do that, usually it takes ages until someone from the Kubuntu team gets to it :)

Thank you for this report and have a nice day.

Closing the Ubuntu task since this is being tracked at KDE's bug tracker.
