Description Timothy Covell 2003-07-13 16:55:26 UTC 
Version:           kcontrol 3.1.0 and kdesktop 3.1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)  
OS:          Linux

When using multiple backgrounds mode, kdesktop will crash when loading certain background images (using tiffs, jpegs, and gifs(?)).   This is _very_ bad because it defeats the screensaver etc. and it cannot be fixed w/o editting by hand the configuration files in ~/.kde; kcontrol will crash when selecting the backgrounds applet.    Also, on reboot/relogin, the kdesktop program will continue to try to spawn new processes to work, but it will hog the CPU; the solution is to do a "killall kdesktop".   By the way, I'm sending this bug report via Opera because Konqueror refused to accept cookies even when I said that it should accept  all cookies.  Unfortunately, I cannot tell you which image it was that crashed because there doesn't appear to be a current image setting/log anywhere, it's just one (or more) of dozens of images which do display in ImageMagick...I just found one (corrupted Tiff) which crashes Konqueror's Image Viewer but not Kuikshow, this backtrace is appended after the kcontrol backtrace (I could e-mail the image upon request).

Here's the kcontrol crash dump:

Comment 1 Daniel Molkentin 2003-07-16 21:14:56 UTC 
This is a problem in the underlying TIFF library (libtiff). Reassigning to kdelibs.
Comment 2 Waldo Bastian 2003-10-14 18:15:31 UTC 
Can you provide a problematic image as attachment to this bugreport, or can you 
provide a link to such image? 
 
If you don't want to publish the image you may also send it in private mail to 
bastian@kde.org
Comment 3 Waldo Bastian 2003-11-24 14:13:57 UTC 
Reporter doesn't respond.

In case you read this and still happen to have the offending image, please report to http://www.libtiff.org/bugs.html

Closing report, not a bug in KDE code.
Comment 4 Timothy Covell 2003-11-24 23:26:31 UTC 
Subject: Re:  kdesktop and kcontrol crash when using certain backgrounds

I replied to you a long time ago but your Qmailer cannot 
handle the Tiff file because it is too big for your system.
So, you tell me how to get it to you.

Ah, nice to hear from you. Better report directly to 
	http://www.libtiff.org/bugs.html
since that's where it will need to be fixed anyway, and maybe they have 
already fixed it in their development version. I did notice that they fixed 
something in the area where the crash occurred.

Alternatively you can gzip it and send it to bastian@svn.net and see if that 
mailer is less picky.

Cheers,
Waldo
