amarok (2.3.1) on KDE Platform 4.4.95 (KDE 4.4.95 (KDE 4.5 >= 20100723)) using Qt 4.6.3

- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Sometimes, Amarok crashes when it's launched during the restoration of a KDE session.

Thank you for the feedback.

From duplicate: Amarok 2.3.1-git doesn't crash on start anymore, but crashes on quit.

This bug is annoying. How can it be fixed?

A workaround would be to disable the Albums applet, as there is a destructor problem with it, but of course that is just a workaround.

OK, I've disabled the albums applet (had to do it by editing the relevant line in "amarok_homerc" because Amarok still crashed on exit after disabling the Albums' applet using the GUI). However, Amarok still crashes. What should I do now?

Do you get the same backtrace?

I'm getting this backtrace:

Same destructor problem as bug 245513

Hi,

I've discussed this bug with Leo Franchi yesterday.
We are not sure why the null-pointer happens exactly, but we have a possible solution.

The reason why the LyricsApplet and the AlbumApplet are crashing is because a QGraphicsProxyWidget is accessed in their destructors.
Someone tried to free the memory of the QGraphicsProxyWidget's widget().

Unfortunately it's not necessary to clean up the widget() on your own, as Qt's documentation suggests:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qgraphicsproxywidget.html#dtor.QGraphicsProxyWidget

My solution was to remove the memory cleanup from the destructors.
Could more people please test my patch and report if it works (the patch should apply against the latest git master)?

Regards,
Martin

I'm on Mandriva Cooker and tried your patch and the lyrics applet crashed Amarok after I tried to remove it using the X button in the applets task bar. I can get you a backtrace tomorrow.
