you're going to have to provide more information. as it stands this report contains no information to even identify the problem.

please attach your `kde-config --localprefix`/share/config/kickerrc and try removing things from one it one item (Applet and Button sections) at a time until it stops crashing. thank you.

[bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
When I look at the local user's kickerrc it only has information about
layout, changes, and updates, all on one line.  Don't see applets.

[$Version]
update_info=kickerrc.upd:kde_3_1_sizeChanges,kickerrc.upd:kde_3_4_reverseLayout
nfo=kickerrc.upd:kde_3_1_sizeChanges,kickerrc.upd:kde_3_4_reverse

see if `ldd `which kicker`` shows any wrong linkages. see if you have any old KDE install remnants (e.g. old applets or what-have-you) around.

otherwise, please rebuild kicker with debugging symbols and post a backtrace.

Everything via RPM on a SUSE system

Kicker has crashed on my updated 9.3 system twice.  It started working again after I uninstalled some software (installed via Yast, no dependencies identified...) and reinstalled kdebase - none of which might have been relevant, of course

I installed some software last night, rebooted this morning - got the following
