RHBA-2010:0806 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated kdebase packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a graphical desktop environment for the X
Window System. The kdebase packages include core applications for the K Desktop
Environment.

These updated kdebase packages fix the following bug:

• Previously, the 'kdesktop_lock' process did not run on multi-user systems when

another user had already ran an instance of 'kdesktop_lock'. This update allows
'kdesktop_lock' to work on multi-user systems when multiple single users are
logged in. (BZ#499442)

All users of kdebase are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
