Bug Description

Of late my Edgy Kubuntu machine has started reporting a KDesktop crash after I initiate a restart via the KDE shutdown button. This does not seem to occur when I restart via 'sudo shutdown -r now'. Backtrace is attached.

I've kept things patched current. ksmserver shows up in Adept at version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2. I haven't noticed the crash for the last week or so, but I don't shut down very much.

I ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (see bug #89289 ) and rebooted. X and kde came up with the right resolution, and no crash this time.

This isn't an issue in Kubuntu Intrepid (8.10) since KDesktop is no more. (replaced by Plasma)
