Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I launch Kopete, and click on Settings then Configure, it gives me a SIGSEGV with the following backtrace information listed below:

Please note that this problem occurs on 2 different computers, both running the same distribution and the same version, but each with it's own user account. (ie, one for me and one for my wife).

My machine has a webcam, hers does not.

Both machines rely on an NFS share for our home directory. 

Her machine has never run kopete before today when we decided to see if she was having the same problem.
