Backtraces with "no debugging symbols found" are useless. Please install the 
debug-packages provided by your distro or compile KDE with debug enabled.
Comment 3 R. J. 2008-02-17 01:58:32 UTC
hey, I have kdebase 4 debug installed, is there something else I am meant to have?
Comment 4 R. J. 2008-02-27 12:25:54 UTC
did some searching,  the reason no debug symbols were found is because they aren't available yet for opensuse.

Comment 5 Sebastian Sauer 2008-03-10 01:38:58 UTC
hi R.J.

they are availablefor OpenSuse :) Please just install kdebase-dbg rather then kdebase.
Is this btw still reproducable for you with KDE 4.0.2?
Comment 6 George 2008-03-15 15:28:30 UTC
could be a case of bad $HOME/.kde and $HOME/.kde4 folders. Try to remove them, reboot and then try to get the crash happening. 
Perhaps you installed kde 4 over kde 3.5.x config files ?
I´m unable to get the crash in KDE 4.0.2 myself. 
Comment 7 Jason Stubbs 2008-06-01 06:31:44 UTC
With 4.1 just around the corner, it's time to close off 4.0 bugs. If you get similar crashes with 4.1 please open a new bug with a full backtrace.
