Bug 329783

Application: kwin (4.11.3)
KDE Platform Version: 4.11.3
Qt Version: 4.8.5
Operating System: Linux 3.11.6-4-desktop x86_64
Distribution: "openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
When KWin crashed, I was changing my color theme. It was right after I started my computer. It happened to me a few other times before. When I tried to apply, none of my windows were clickable or usable or whatsoever (but I could still move my pointer around), so I waited, then got bored and went into console mode and back, and the whole screen was black, with my mouse pointer still working. So I went back into my console as root, and killed KWin with a SIGBUS to force the KDE Crash Handler to restart it and dump it. AFAIK, the debug log contains information about the real crash aswell (settings stuff).

-- Backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Bus error
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
