Description Ian Wadham 2003-08-07 03:34:12 UTC

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

This bug was found in KDE Control Center Theme Manager (kcmthememgr,
but the bug wizard did not recognize that name).  I am working with 1280x1024
screen resolution and was previously using the default SuSE desktop and
Keramik style.

I tried to select and apply the theme called "Wood" and all hell broke loose.
First the KDE Panel (kicker?) crashed with a SIGSEGV and I could not
shut KDE down properly.  Right-clicking the desktop did not work either.
So I re-booted by hardware.  Then KDE Splash crashed with a SIGSEGV
during restart and the desktop was again unusable.  Finally I went to the
Linux login as "root" and moved all files in ~/.kde/share/config that were
created after I selected "Wood" into a subdir called CRASH.  Then I was
able to restart KDE and it came up in SuSE mode again.  Phew!!!!  No
more themes for me !!!

P.S. I can send you those config files if they would help.
