Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/123

Even with "--noprofile" most KDE4 apps fail to launch (parent is shutting down, bye...). So i don't even know what to tweak...

for example ktorrent, kmail, akregator, amarok, konsole... (others do work, digikam gwenview, ksysguard ...)

If some special config is needed, then it would be nice to have at least an example of a kde config file in etc. I couldn't find anything on the internet about this.

(up to date 64bits Linux Mint 17.2 KDE 4.14.2, firejail 0.9.34, kernel 3.16.0-38-generic)

I got it. It's like with Seafile. These applications "fork children and exit"....

Behh, the hack with waiter.py seams a bit convoluted.

I'll add a very generic fix for all these programs in the next few days. It will also fix various server programs.

I have a fix in for kde applications. Give it a try! For the tree/list I am still digging.
