can't open kde control module: "configuration is already open"

a screenshot of the error window

I can not confirm this problem, is it still occurring for you? If so, I am guessing this is within KDE 4? And if so, are you using the System Settings for KDE 3 which are located in the main area of the applications or are you using the version for KDE 4 that is located under the settings? Thank you!

hello,
 is still occuring, is in kde4, the version of System Settings is the one that is located under the settings.
only hapens if you click on the icons that are in "customize your theme" if you click on the icons on the right everything works ok
 i send a new screenshot.

Confirming.

Ahh, I wasn't clicking on the bottom icons. Yes this is confirmed, however this should be fixed with the updates rolling out next week I believe. Thanks.

I just tested this in my trunk check out and it has yet to be fixed, found upstream bug report.

I i've update yesterday (2008-03-05), and happens in the same way. Not fixed.

This is still broken in trunk/. We will have to follow along and see how this goes. If I get a chance I will see about doing some upstream work sometime this week. Thanks everyone for your patience.

hello, i've update again yesterday (2008-03-12) and the bug is still there.
thanks

Another information, i also use Enlightenment and Xfce, and if you open systemssettings-kde4 under enlightenment you can work normaly,if you click on the bottom icons, the error window doesnt's appear.

Hello, still happens in 4.0.3

I'm on hardy now, i forget to mention that

Things have changed substantially in KDE 4.1 and this can't happen any more. (The Theme manager was de-centralized into separate modules)
