Description Szokovacs Robert 2005-12-20 14:25:11 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

In KDE 3.5, several application (kicker and konsole, etc) developed a tendency crash at shutdown (session saving), which is bad, but hopefully will be fixed soon :) 
My problem is that when a crash like this happen, the CrashHandler window comes up, and doesn't go away until I click on it, which is annoying, as I have to babysit KDE through the shutdown, and worse, I have to explain my wife what's going on. So I wish there was an option to disable the CrashHandler, preferably on per application and per version base (if it detects a new version, it could automatically re-enable itself).
Please? :)

Set KDE_DEBUG to 1 before starting KDE. You may also want to set ulimit -c to 0 so that core files aren't created.
