Public bug reported:

I was trying to use kstart to start three programs in three different desktops after login, like this:
  kstart --desktop 1 firefox
  kstart --desktop 2 kmail
  kstart --desktop 3 konsole
After (apparently) executing the script, the system hung solidly.  I tried this more elaborate version of the same thing:
  #! /bin/sh
  kstart --desktop 1 firefox &
  kstart --desktop 2 kmail &
  kstart --desktop 3 konsole &
  exit
but the behavior was the same.

I'm running Kubuntu 14.10 with release
4:4.14.2-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.10~ppa1 of kde-runtime.
