The backtrace is missing important parts. Please have a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Nevertheless I think we already have that crash report. Is it possible that a window closed while you used alt+tab?

Bug 187761 ?

Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2009-08-29 16:19:43 UTC

We still need a proper backtrace and the question isn't answered, so we cannot really fix this crash.
