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.

Description Darrell 2013-01-06 14:53:48 CST 
In KControl->TDE Components->Service Manager->Startup Services, disabling the KDED Media Manager is ignored when KControl->Desktop->Behavior->Device Icons->Show device icons is enabled. Leaving Device Icons->Show device icons enabled and disabling all device options in the list results in the same behavior.

There is a degree of logic to this somewhat conflicting behavior, yet when a user explicitly disables the service that is the result the user should see.

An appropriate resolution would be to add a simple check in the code as to whether the user has explicitly disabled the service in the user's kdedrc. When disabled the service should not start even when Device Icons->Show device icons is enabled.

mediamanager is now an important part in TDE and it is started early on in the login phase, therefore it will no longer show up in the TCC->TDE Components->Service Manager->Startup Services for selection. Done in commits e9f503cd (R14.1.x) and 3a7ece7a (R14.0.x).
