Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: g++ (GCC) 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401) OS: Linux When the icons on the desktop are disabled (kdesktoprc section [General] Enabled=false) kdesktop crashes on startup. It's somewhere in KRootWm::initConfig (sorry no usefull bt) My guess is a null pointer on m_pDesktop->iconView() or one of the static_casts. without those lines it doesn't crash any more.
I also confirm this behavior. Sorry can't help with the debugging.
I forgot to CCMAIL here my previous commit. Anyway, the bug is now fixed.

Yes I have this problem too but I didn't know it was related to icons. Now I enabled that and it works!
Bug closed. Kdesktop is no more mantained.
