Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Hello,

I don't believe anything on this system has changed (or been updated) recently. (However, I did drag-drop a new shortcut onto kicker a day ago and I did a Alt-Ctrl-Backspace shutdown last night). 

This machine is running FC3 and currently installed:
  kdeartwork-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdelibs-3.4.2-0.fc3.2
  kdenetwork-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdeaddons-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdepim-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdegraphics-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdemultimedia-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdeutils-3.4.2-0.fc3.1
  kdebase-3.4.2-0.fc3.3

Until today, I was running KDE with kicker without problems -- I've used kicker for years now! -- Kicker now refuses to start up properly (it starts, appears, then dies). Attempting to start kicker from Konsole produces the following:

[root@airbag ~]# kicker &
[2] 5629
[root@airbag ~]# libpng error: Not a PNG file

  what():  St9bad_alloc
