Description Michael Olbrich 2004-04-15 08:25:12 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401) 
OS:          Linux

When the icons on the desktop are disabled (kdesktoprc section [General] Enabled=false) kdesktop crashes on startup. 
It's somewhere in KRootWm::initConfig (sorry no usefull bt)
My guess is a null pointer on m_pDesktop->iconView() or one of the static_casts.
without those lines it doesn't crash any more.

I also confirm this behavior. Sorry can't help with the debugging.

Yes I have this problem too but I didn't know it was related to icons. Now I enabled that and it works!
