The crash seems to be related to the CWP widget. - Does the random crashes stop if you remove it from your Plasma Desktop ? - Did you recompiled it / reinstalled it after updating to KDE SC 4.4. ? Regards Ok, i now did remove the CWP widget and will report if the crashes still occur. Anyway should plasma-desktop really crash if a plasmoid crashes? I think it would be better if plasma-desktop catches the crash and stays alive. That's a another big issue: bug 199754. Regards Reporter on bug 227787 confirmed that if CWP is not used, Plasma doesn't crash with this backtrace. Looking at the code, it is using synchronus calls using KIO, (on a different thread) and that is not allowed by KIO (it will generate random crashes) Please report to the CWP author (kde-look.org page) Regards *** Bug 227787 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 227679 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 227643 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 230673 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I contacted the author of CWP, and he sais:
"Which version are you using?
>= cwp-0.9.14 should make asynchronous downloads from the gui thread, which should be fine."
I am on Ubuntu Lucid now with cwp-0.9.18 and no more crashes from cwp. So for everyone having this crash can update to newer cwp and should be solved for them.
