same here. 6.06lts. randomly either kicker or klauncher or both will exit and not restart. maybe once a day or so. also can't replicate, and no errors are logged in .xsession-errors or /var/log/Xorg.log* etc... the processes just vanish, with the result that desktop icons all vanish, and/or the screen background switches to black, and/or the kicker bar at the bottom of the screen vanishes.
after killing the X session and logging in again, all is well. no other long-running processes appear to be dying randomly and there are no kernel oopses or other symptoms indicative of memory problems, etc... -- randomly exits https://launchpad.net/bugs/53803 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
