Hi there! After releasing bluedevil 1.2 I didn't have anything else to do for the night so I have been doing some bug busting with our favorite bug, the Ghost Entries, and I think that I got something.
First of all, this is how I can reproduce this nasty bug: 1-Execute "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null" as root one time per core to keep your CPU busy, we need new apps to be slow at launch 2-execute "plasmoidviewer tasks" 3-Configure the plasmoidviewer to show only "only taks from current desktop", leave the rest with defaults 4-Be sure that at least 2 desktop contains more than 2 apps 5-Go to desktop 2 6-Execute a KDE application (the longuer it takes to execute, the better, in my case I'm using akregator) 7-Quickly after launching the app move to another desktop (I'm doing this via shortcut) So, after discover how to reproduce the bug (took me a while) I started to do some gdb digging, this is what I got: The problem seems to be that the TaskGroup from TaskGroupItem contains deleted or invalid items but those are not detected as "invalid" so they are included (itemAdded) anyway. Part of the problem can be that some TaskItem are neither task or startupTask for example at TaskItem::winIds I added a if(!d->startupTask) within the !d->task block and the "ghost entries" had both (task and startupTask) at null. Monday I will have round2 though I expect more people to jump into the fight now that in theory you should be able to reproduce the bug.
