Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 4.2.4 OS: Linux I compiled KDE4 (kdebase-startkde) from a gentoo overlay (kdesvn-portage) and upon startup I get a crash from plasma.

plasma(15674)/libplasma Plasma::Applet::load: offers is empty for "folderview" i fixed that one just tonight actually. =)
After updating plasma, it now starts fine... There still is the line plasma(15674)/libplasma Plasma::Applet::load: offers is empty for "folderview" I will look into what there package I have to recompile to (in gentoo I have plasma and libplasma) update the folderview plasmoid(?). Eventually I will probably also have to find out how to make full backtraces. Thanks, anyways.
