Hi,
(I'm writing it here because Bugzilla is curently unavailable for me)
Ever since the KDE 3.5.10 era, when launching TDE on slower computers (such as P4, or a Raspberry Pi), whenever the TDE startup time is slightly longer than usual, I get to following message after the splash disappear:
Error - KDesktop
The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.
and I'm stuck with no icons on the desktop, but the rest of TDE works as usual.
I am almost sure that it is just a timeout who generates the alarm too soon, but it might also be a ''real'' bug.
But, what could be interesting could be to do as in KDE 4 or Plasma 5; to relaunch automatically the crashed component.
Have a great day!
