Please post this report at http://bugs.kde.org so it gets fixed in KDE rather than just in Kubuntu and paste the report's URL here.
 I will post a crash backtrace in a minute, please include this file in your report for KDE, it makes tracking down the issue a lot easier.

I just installed the shiny new KDE-4.1 and literally the very first thing I tried, looking at the help, failed with exactly this crash.
