Hi All,
I'm experiencing the same problem as Mike Cohler posted about nearly a month ago, namely kded crashes on logout under Fedora 7 and 8 after kdebase was update last November. This problem has become so annoying that I did some digging around on the web and actually found the cause and a patch to fix it:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336627
I tried to apply the fix and rebuild kdebase from source rpms myself. However, when I go to build the package after applying the patch, I get the following error message (which is not related to the patch as far as I can tell) and I've been unable to find any reference to the -redhat-m-gnu flag on the web:

Try `./configure --help' for more information.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.23199 (%build)
I find it kinda aggravating that the patch for this has been available for more than a month now and that before the November update, everything was working fine with kde, at least for me. I'd greatly appreciate any help on resolving the -redhat-m-gnu flag error or if someone would be kind enough to make a patched rpm version available (preferably for Fedora 7). There is a newer kdebase in the testing directory of the Fedora repos, but surprisingly, it doesn't include the patch above!
Thanks in advance, Tim Leger
