Without a backtrace it's nearly impossible to track down this bug. I', sorry, but for now I'm closing it. We will reopen it, if further information become available.
There still some things you can try:
- Does it work with another LiveCD? If so, it's very likely not a KDE bug, you should file a bug in your distros bug tracker.
- Do you have the possibility to try a more recent LiveCD with KDE4 or at least 3.5.10?
- If possible, try to install the distro to your harddisk. Thus you will be able to install debug packages for the backtrace.

Thanks for your help.

I Sorry,but relly i cant install it,but i tested it with more live cd,s of direrent distros and versions of KDE

i discovered than the kdesktop causeses a chash at low RAM situatios,that because that notebook is old and is only 256 MB RAM and the great quantity of services and apps starting with kde uses much ram and with no SWAP it causes kdesktop to crash with a Kurumin 7 Personalizated distro than i removed all the non escencial kde services and apss at the starting sequencecauses ut to be using only 100 mb ram right now and making a 500 mb SWAP at the now instaled hard drive make its work correctly

thanks for yours help

RESOLVED KDESKTOP CRASHES AT LOW RAM SITUATIONS (256 MB OR LESS)

RESOLUTION: REMOVES NON-ESCENCIAL SERVICES TO USE LESS RAM ANDA CAUSE IT TO WORK CORRECTLY
