Debian Wheezy,
Amd64, Nvidia quadro card, drivers from vender, dual
monitors.
In my .xsession-errors files I can see numerous entries:
"tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile
/tmp/tde-pabiVcZK3y/kdesktop_lock_lockfile"
This crashes my X session, ~ 1 minute uptime, dumps me back to the login
screen, totaly unworkable.
I have been working around this issue because it only happens on 2
workstations with the same hardware specs, and drivers from Nvidia.
I remove '/opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock', I do not use screensaver or
lock
desktop, this works..until an update replaces the kdesktop_lock
binary...this
will stop eventually.
I read bugs 2222 & 2230, re kdesktop_lock, I could run a backtrace if
that would help and if someone could give directions on howto. I will
file a bug
with the backtrace.
Well that's strange. When you mention it crashing your Xorg session does
that mean the Xorg server itself crashes (i.e. instantaneous dump back to
the command line) or that TDE terminates leaving Xorg still running? kdesktop_lock is spawned from kdesktop, so any
debugging would likely
involve terminating kdesktop and running kdesktop_lock under gdb from a
terminal. When I have an answer to the above question I'll get back to
you on how to debug further.
killed the 'kdesktop' process, ran 'gdb kdesktop_lock' in a terminal,
output
below.

Also, Did this bug first appear in RC2 or did it show
up earlier?
It started when I upgraded to R14 fro 3.5.13.2, on 8/6/2014..thread "Wheezy
upgrade to R14'. It was not this bad at first, it has progressively gotten
worse,,till now it is unusable without disabling 'kdesktop_lock' binary.
Thanks!
