Comment 13 for bug 1332126

Thanks.

I now have the following versions:

ii backintime-common 1.0.40
ii backintime-gnome 1.0.40
ii backintime-kde 1.0.40
ii backintime-kde4 1.0.40
ii backintime-notify 1.0.40

I have just switched KDE user for testing. I am not able to start backintime-kde4 currently (see below).

I haven't determined yet whether it's switching users that causes the problem.

backintime-gnome starts and works.

$ backintime-kde4
