*** Bug 178589 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Have you experienced this recently with an updated KDE version? Thanks
No, I havent come across this crash recently. But then again: I havent used KDE4 too much recently either ;) So if you want you can close it and I will just reopen the report if I stumble across this problem again...
closing as suggested by comment #4 , please reopen if the bug come back
