[Bug 501856] [NEW] plasma desktop crash with applet quick launch when you click on soft link to directory and another times crash

[STaRMaN]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: plasma-desktop

My system:

System:
   Kubuntu Karmic 64 bits.
   Linuxl 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
   VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650] (with ATI privative drivers)
   

This bug happend with and without desktop effects activated.


I saw 2 differents cases:

1) The content of the destination folder is not showed in quick launch applet
To reproduce this case:

In your home folder:

mkdir A
touch A/test.txt
ln -s A a

Now, use the applet to view the content of "a" folder.
The file doesn't appear.


2) In another cases, with more deep in the destination folder, plasma-desktop crash.
I tried to reproduce this problem creating folders.... but i don't get it.

I have a folder Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores
I have a link to that folder in my home
lrwxrwxrwx   1 jarizaro jarizaro   52 2009-10-26 00:45 09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores -> Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores

Permissions of destination folder are:
jarizaro at jarizaro-portatil:~$ ls -lh Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas | grep 09
drwxr-xr-x  6 jarizaro jarizaro 4,0K 2009-12-29 21:20 09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores


If i try to go to that folder thought link using quicklaunch applet. plasma-desktop crash.

....
Running in console plasma-desktop, the relative lines to this crash are:
plasma-desktop(6611)/kio (KDirListerCache) KDirListerCache::listDir: Listing directory: KUrl("file:///home/jarizaro/Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores")

I tried to remove ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and reset computer, but with default applets configuration the system continues with the same problem.
