The problem I have is that if we see a bug, and then work round it instead of understanding it, we still have a bug - and that will just come up again in a different place again and again. > I have also noticed with this change that there is no (few second) delay after clicking the applet and ksysguard starting to launch. That comes back to the exact same question; why is there a few second delay when getting a (supposedly) pre-cached entry from the DataEngine. ----- The other viable option, which IMHO would make this code far far neater is adding a KRunProxy::openService(const QString name); in kdeclarative which uses KService::serviceByName() instead of serviceByDesktopPath then we can kill the apps dataengine completely and not have to worry about it.
