Comment 1 Konstantinos Smanis 2013-05-06 12:23:46 UTC 
Hello, I just checked on a fresh Kubuntu 13.04 installation with the latest packages and I can't reproduce the crash. I tried all possible actions (Preview/Create/Set Image).

I get a lot of ImageMagick-related crash reports mainly due to bad package dependencies from the distros. The offending piece of code seems to be properly written. Please check the latest packages (seeing that you reported about pre-release packages) or try a custom-made package from https://sourceforge.net/projects/kcm-grub2/ (custom Ubuntu 13.04 packages will be soon available).

If the crashes persist, let me know so that we re-open the bug.
Comment 2 Konstantinos Smanis 2013-05-06 19:57:09 UTC 
Just a heads-up: the custom-made packages for Ubuntu 13.04 are now available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/kcm-grub2/files/0.5.8/Ubuntu%2013.04/

However I would recommend the official packages which include the QApt dependency for removing old kernels and are supported by the packagers. Unfortunately the openSUSE Build Service forbids the use of packages from the 'universe' repository (which is the case for libqapt-dev).
