Description Larry Lawrence 2002-11-16 03:48:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.2 
OS:          Linux

Starting up Konsole in KDE-3.0.5 (and KDE-3.0.4) invokes the crash handler every time.  This occurs after updating to QT-3.1.0 and does not occur with QT-3.0.6.

Comment 1 Stephan Binner 2002-11-16 18:37:38 UTC

On first glance, do we still need the "hack" which calls "inherits"?

Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2002-11-19 18:47:50 UTC

unfortunatly qt 3.1 isn't binary compatible to 3.0.6 (or better: >= 3.0.5 isn't 
binary compatible to 3.0.4), so your KDE 3.0.5 breaks with that Qt. Better 
not update Qt to 3.1 unless you want to run a KDE compiled with it.

Comment 3 Larry Lawrence 2002-11-19 20:27:46 UTC

I completely agree with qt 3.1 not being binary compatible, unfortunately, the
bug remains even when compiled against qt-3.1

Comment 4 Larry Lawrence 2002-11-21 02:45:23 UTC

DCOP: register 'konsole-5002' -> number of clients is now 1
ptsname: No such file or directory
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = <unknown> pid = 5002
DCOP: unregister 'konsole-5002'

To clarify, this is KDE-3.0.5 compiled against QT-3.1.0.

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2002-11-21 10:07:48 UTC

this is not supported by KDE 3.0.5 ;( 
Use KDE 3.1 to get a KDE that works with Qt 3.1.

Comment 6 Larry Lawrence 2002-11-21 13:15:49 UTC

Thanks, Just compiled the snapshot and all works well.

Comment 7 Alexander Vodomerov 2002-11-26 16:10:40 UTC

It crashes because sender() returns NULL. I've added check for it and it now 
works fine (I use kde-3.0.5 and qt-3.1)
