[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#627760: Now in wheezy

[Karl Schmidt]

After attempting one of the fixes - removing the .Xauthority files - it still would not work:

Attempt to start a meld session from konsole:
Password dialog box appears then it closes - this is left in

$ kdesudo meld
kdesudo(315) KDESu::KDESuPrivate::KCookie::getXCookie: No X authentication info set for display  ":0"

No protocol specified
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
   warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
/usr/bin/meld:126: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' 
failed
   gtk.icon_theme_get_default().append_search_path(meld.paths.icon_dir())
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/meld", line 126, in <module>
     gtk.icon_theme_get_default().append_search_path(meld.paths.icon_dir())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append_search_path'

This file is claimed to be recreated automatically..

doing
$xauth
generate :0

creates a new one.

Then things work again..

This should not break so often..
