Hi !
I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Testing linux.
Sometimes all the icons from desktop disappear and (at the same time!)
the desktop lock button (blue lock symbol in the kicker panel) stops
to work.
What service/program to I have to restart in order to fix it without
logging out and in again?
Cheers

Disappearing icons from the desktop shows to crash KDesktop. Starting kdesktop
should correct the problem.
At this situation please take a look into ~/.xsession-error, if there is
listed a backtrace about KDesktop crash? It could help to detect and fix the
problem.

For info,

From daily build repo, for example kdesktop:
kdesktop-trinity 4:14.0.0-r1248-0debian8.0.0+pr60 amd64

As far as I know, KDesktop crashes silently - without DrKonqui. However, the
backtrace should be listed in file ~/.xsession-errors, as I mentioned in the
previous mail.

I have exactly the same problems since months during several versions of TDE. I'm now
on R14.0.0 [Development]. DrKonqui is definitely not there after disapearence of icons. I
will look into my .xsession-error file next time.
here is my sources list:
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/u…
raring main universe multiverse restricted
BTW: Since some time I get:

Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net raring Release

it worked formerly. Any idea what has changed?
