[Bug 499952] [NEW] KDE System Monitor clears xml when disk is full

[Jason]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

If the partition in which KDE System Monitor is installed on is full, System Monitor will clear (delete all contents of) the files containing most of the layout. The files affected seem to be:
~/.kde/share/apps/ksysguard/ProcessTable.sgrd
~/.kde/share/apps/ksysguard/SystemLoad2.sgrd

The story behind this is, I ran out of space on the partition I
installed Ubuntu and Kubuntu on. (Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 with kubuntu-desktop
installed.) While trying to figure out what was wrong I opened and
closed System Monitor several times. On starting System Monitor I
recieve two separate errors telling me these files are not valid XML
files:

The file /home/phantom/.kde/share/apps/ksysguard/ProcessTable.sgrd does not contain valid XML.
The file /home/phantom/.kde/share/apps/ksysguard/SystemLoad2.sgrd does not contain valid XML.

The System Monitor window then appears but is just a large, empty (gray)
window, with some menus at the top and a status bar at the bottom.

I have browsed to the directory to confirm that both files exist but are
0 bytes.
