Bug 217425

Application that crashed: plasma-desktop
Version of the application: 0.3
KDE Version: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
Qt Version: 4.6.0
Operating System: Linux 2.6.31-gentoo x86_64

What I was doing when the application crashed:
After reinstall to KDE SC 4.3.4 and some other updates KDE became unusable. It crashes everytime I login in. I have already tried on two user accout, with exactly the samen result. Manually starting 'plasma-desktop' gives the following:

cdebaes@haken ~ $ plasma-desktop
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QWidget "", which already has a layout
QGraphicsLinearLayout::removeAt: invalid index 0
QGraphicsLinearLayout::removeAt: invalid index 0
Object::connect: No such signal SystemTray::Manager::jobStateChanged(SystemTray::Job*)
cdebaes@haken ~ $ KCrash: Application 'plasma-desktop' crashing...
sock_file=/home/cdebaes/.kde4/socket-haken/kdeinit4__0
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QWidget "", which already has a layout
QGraphicsLinearLayout::removeAt: invalid index 0
QGraphicsLinearLayout::removeAt: invalid index 0
Object::connect: No such signal SystemTray::Manager::jobStateChanged(SystemTray::Job*)

I have no idea what exactly is going. I'm more than willing to probe things more in detail...
