[Python-apps-team] Bug#673336: sonata: KDE launch fails to connect to mpd on local socket

[Jonathan Lane]

Package: sonata
Version: 1.6.2.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have mpd configured to run as my own user account, running on a local
socket within $HOME.  When I launch Sonata from a terminal, or from a 
window manager's built in launch feature (Window Maker and e17, 
specifically), it connects properly.  When launched from KDE's "Kickoff"
start menu or its equivalent of the window managers' run dialogues, 
Sonata fails to connect, and even selecting the default connection 
profile through the right-click menu, which works in every other window
manager I've tried, does not work in KDE, even with the "--profile=1" 
flag.  When I launch Sonata from Konsole within KDE, it still works 
properly.  This bug is filed against Sonata because it appears to be
inheriting its profiles incorrectly.
