Bookmark-bar in Applications-activity does not remember bookmarked items

[Sokraates]

Using Kubuntu Netbook Edition on an AAO 110. All updates as of 16.08.2009.

How to reproduce:
1.) Bookmark one or more applications in the Applications-activity
2.) Reboot
3.) The bookmark-bar is empty

Expected result: The bookmark-bar should contain teh bookmarked item(s).

This used to work with KNE Karmic Alpha 4. Deleting ~~/.kde did not help.

I don't know whether there this may actually be a problem with session restore. I use the default settings yet it seems that not all applications I had open upon shutdown/reboot are always restored. The bookmark-bar however is alsways empty. I've experienced similar problems with KDE 4.x on other systems before and then loging out and in again solved the issue. here however I'm unable to logout due to bug 414715.

Aftr working around bug 414715 (which turned out to be a duplicate of bug 410466) I logged out and the bookmark-bar still showed an item (Arora, in this case) I bookmarked just before logout.

However the bookmar-bar did not remember any other items after later logouts, reboots or shutdowns. So at least now I know that logout does not solve the issue.

It looks like these are saved after a KDE (rather than system) logout/shutdown. If you touch the power button to get the logout/shutdown/restart and use that is it saved?

The only way I can reliably save the bookmarked items is to edit the container settings and press ok, after adding the items. Like that all bookmarked items will be there after the reboot.

Upstream it's working ok. If you're running in debug mode, try to look for this line in output:

StripWidget::save: ----------------> Saving Stuff...

This is the call that saves the favourites.

Sorry for for not replying, however I've been away on a business trip last week, without my trust A110.

I will test this again probably at the end of the week and after applying all updates.

@MoRpHeUz: How do I run debug mode? Where is the output saved (just in case the logout is faster than my eyes)?

[Sokraates (sokraates)]

I'm quite at a loss with this bug. I've now cleaned my old profile (deleted ~/.kde) and created a new profile for verification purposes.

Now only one single item out of each cathegory (e.g. Office, Multimedia, System) is saved in the bookmark-bar. Actually the first item you add is saved, the second is forgotten. So after adding Konqueror and Networks, only Konqueror is shown in the bookmark-bar after a logout/reboot/shutdown. However adding OpenOffice Draw, Konqueror and Systemsettings will work, since they are in different cathegories.

Also adding a new item from an already bookmarked cathegory (i.e. after a logout/reboot/shutdown) does not work.

I verified this behaviour with the second account.
