I am running 13.1 with KDE 4.12.4 from the recently updated KDE repos.
I have had a nagging desktop crash issue ( desktop reverts to Greeter-Login screen) recently, very infrequent and random as to what apps and windows I had open at the time but frequently associated with selecting the "Show Desktop" widget from the panel to get clean access to my desktop folder.
I use the term "recently" rather loosely, as the infrequency and randomness make it unclear when this started, but I am now focused on my upgrade from 4.11.x to 4.12.y as the probable trigger.
In addition to desktop crashes, I found some wierdness when running my CAD program QCADCAM, which is a QT application that uses the KDE file chooser interface.
My dialog with the QCAD developer is here in the QCAD Forum.
I found that certain file chooser operations were causing QCAD to seg fault.
After search both openSUSE and internet forums with some of the messaging I was getting from CLI sessions, and experiments with a new test-user login (and environment), I decided to create a new ~/.kde4 profile for my normal user login.
So far, no desktop crashes experienced.
I also find that QCAD no longer segfaults when using the kde file chooser interface to open a file, but neither does the file open.
I know the file.dxf is good, and can open it by specifying it on the command line.
So an interface issue still exists between the application (built using QT 4.8.4) and the KDE 4.12.4 file chooser interface.
Anyone else chasing weirdness in this area?
