Version:           Kopete 0.11.1 (Using KDE 3.5.2-0.2.fc5 Red Hat) (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:                Linux

Using Kopete as distributed in Fedora Core 5, application crashes to "KDE Crash Handler" every time upon selecting "Configure..." from the "Settings" menu.  Backtrace indicates a problem checking video brightness.  Computer is Compaq Presario V5120NR notebook with Compaq modified ATI drivers to Radeon Xpress 200M chip (regular drivers from ATI won't install).  I'm going to suggest wrapping this setting in a try/catch and greying out any options that can't depend on it returning properly.

Backtrace:
