just a notation to this old thread that I have saved...

it seems with the latest version of KDE4, the first time I run this
command...

kquitapp plasma && plasma &

it fails partway through with...

plasma(10765)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: Cancelled
INotify (fd 20, 1) for "/home/craig/Desktop"
plasma(10765)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: Removed Dir
"/home/craig/Desktop" for "" ["KDirWatch-1"]
plasma(18157): Communication problem with  "plasma" , it probably
crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message
did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

but then I run it one more time and this time it works
