I don't know if this is a bug.
Whenever SER encounters an error in the ser.cfg file, it restarts the X
server (or KDE. I might be confused but what I know is that it logges me
out).
Is there any way of overcoming this problem. Because if I have some other
jobs that I am doing, it closes everything and I have to relogin.
What version of ser do you use? Is it the latest stable cvs (0.8.11rc1)
or unstable version?
How do you start ser? Do you start it from a terminal/console?
Fisrt time I saw this mail I thought you have some X config problem, but
if you use an old ser version and you start ser from KDE/run (and not
from a console) it might kill all your kde. This is because kde doesn't
change the pgid when it starts a program and old ser versions used to
send a SIGTERM to the entire process group. ser changes its pgid, but
after parsing the config file, so if the config file is bad a SIGTERM
will be send to the ser original pgid (which in the kde case includes also
most of the kde processes).
