I'm facing a weird problem with my application:
* settings are perfectly saved if I quit the application manually.
* settings are not saved if I logout from KDE directly

Does anyone know why the settings are not saved at kde-logout?


From the debugging output, I notice that the KMainWindow methods queryClose(), queryExit(), saveProperties() are executed. All settings are written during the saveProperties() method, this is also visible in my debug output. I did notice that the destructor didn't run at kde-logout. It only runs when I quit the application..

Hmm, maybe the application is killed before it can finish, thus its destructors don't get called.

However if your saveProperties is called, check that you call sync() on your KConfig instance.

I'm already doing that, and it does not seam to help.. :-(

I've managed to fix my problem, although the fix is quite weird.

In saveProperties(config), the argument 'config' != kapp->config(). I'm not sure why, or what causes this. By using kapp->config() instead of the 'config' argument, I managed to save the settings at KDE logout.
