By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Capture of the error pop-up.

Formerly it was possible to run KDE apps in other windowing environments (such as Gnome and in this case XFCE).  The current Trinity version of kwrite can no longer select or display file lists the file dialogue, complaining with a pop-up:

Error - KWrite

Cannot talk to klauncher

Whilst trying to save a screen shot, I discovered that this is - as one might expect - a generic fault with the file dialogue mechanism, rather than application specific to KWrite.

This on Fedora 16, where I am trying to use Trinity to provide KWrite, Konsole, KOrganizer, and Kmail under XFCE as I used to with the original KDE3.

I am completely uncertain what has happened here, but since yesterday - and without any change to the environment that I can think of other than being a different login session - the dialogue now works.
