All browser links stopped working in KDE
After Debian testing upgraded a number of KDE packages for me last night, my KDE/xmonad system is now quite crippled. KDE is at 3.5.9. Clicking on links in browsers does not work - neither in Iceweasel (Firefox for Debian) nor Konqueror. When I use KWin, KDE's standard window manager, instead of xmonad, this problem does not occur. Note: There are also some problems with the way mouse clicks work with menus and some other GUI controls. In particular, clicking on the menu bar in Iceweasel does not work, clicking on drop-down menus in KDE applications does not work, and clicking on the menu bar in KDE applications acts strangely. However, these issues also occur with KWin, not just with xmonad. Something has clearly gone sour in KDE on my system. Thanks, Yitz

What if you just start xmonad without KDE (e.g. from .xsession)? Try the same with kwin and some other window manager. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)

Thanks. Yeah, I need to do some more triage. Sorry about bothering this list. I am hoping to locate other people who were hit with this to help pinpoint the problem. Thought maybe something in xmonad may have triggered it. You have no idea how hard it was to get any work done yesterday. Testing has served me well for years, but maybe it's time to switch to stable :(. Regards, Yitz
