Version:           onbekend (using KDE 3.4.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)

I'm also having a somewhat related problem that somewhere between Kontact (KMail), Konqueror, Kate and Kopete KDED goes into CPU hogging mode if I don't answer the KWallet password prompt as fast as possible at desktop startup time. If it occurs I then need to kill kded and log out / back in. After which it usually doens't happen again that session.

This crash didn't occur right at startup of the KDE 3.4.2 desktop, but only after I got a prompt that requests if I want to give an application (it was Konqueror I beleive) access to the wallet for once or all the time.

Glad it crashed this time. Since a dead program is a good program. Hope you can see something from the backtrace.
