Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Kontact crashes when configuration is changed. On restart Kontact keeps on crashing. Deleting the .kde-folder let you start Kontact again, but is not a solution because whole KDE configuration is gone.
Please provide a backtrace of the crash and describe what you changed and in which component you were working.
Mostly crashes of Kontact appear while configuring the email accounts. After such a crash Kontact never starts again. Last crash appeared after changing the K-menu style. Well, I don't see a pattern.

Had my last message been sent? Didn't get the usual mail.
Your backtrace was received. Normally you don't receive mails from your own additions to Bugzilla.

As before, the apps can be started separately.
Sebastian, your crash is caused by basket. Please completely remove basket from your system and the crash is gone.
wow, how did you trace that output back to basket?? But hey, works for me, too.
yes , removing Basket worked - and the same question - how did You find out it was Basket?
>how did you trace that output back to basket?? Magic. Ok, actually I remembered the first line of the backtrace from another bug report, which was about the basket crash.

For a recent time no crashes occurred. Problem seems to be solved. I am going to makr the bug as being resolved if there are no further comments till Aug 10. Regards

Yes, seems ok now :-)
