Description Joseph Craig 2011-11-23 00:36:57 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

When I right click and add panel default panel it causes Kubuntu to crash. I have a feeling it is due to the video card that I have. It is an ATI RadeonHD 6450 dual head card. 

When I loaded the OS with single monitor then added the second things worked. I ran updates, restarted and the system would not log in with both monitors hooked up. Once I removed the second monitor it would log in, but the panel at the bottom of the screen was not there and when I tried to add it, the system crashed, at least the graphics. I am trying to file a bug with Crash Reporting Assistant. 

Everytime I try to add a default panel to the desktop with Kubuntu it crashes. It also did this with Chakra linux as well. So two distros the same hardware and the same process 100% reproable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Right click desktop, add panel, Default Panel

Actual Results:  
Monitor goes black and Crash Reporting Assistant comes up

Expected Results:  
The default panel to stay on the screen so I would not have to do this with my dual head card. Or at least it allow the panel to be added.

Dell Studio XPS Service tag 10pdzq1 for full system specs. Feel free to contact me via email for more info.

I could not find the other to add my comments to the existing bug. I did
quite a few searches before coming to the assumption that it was a new bug.
Sorry for wasting a bit of time and effort. Have my comments been added to
the other bug or did I discover anything that hadn't already been
discovered.

Thanks,
Joe

This is fixed in the (not yet released) KDE SC 4.7.4, which will be released next December 6. Nothing prevents distributions to backport the fix to older releases, so you can contact Kubuntu to backport the fix if you do not want to wait until next month.
