Bug 211930

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Compiler:          4.4.1 CFLAGS=-O3 -ggdb3 -march=core2 -pipe -ggdb3
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

What I was doing when the application crashed:
Not much to comment, it did work for kde 4.3.0 for me, when i upgraded my system it started to crash. It might be related to hal and xorg update, but checking for null pointers in the code should make it more reliable.
