I install libxine and this bugs doesn't occur anymore. Maybe some test in Phonon/Knotify is missing

Did the cmake check for kdebase not complain? Did you compile with KDE4_DISABLE_MULTIMEDIA? If you let me know what check exactly is missing or if there's bad wording somewhere I'll fix it.

I install all headers need for building kdebase and kdelibs (and phonon) but not all the libraries itself (libxine package was broken), sorry I run cmakekde over kdelibs, etc.. and don't pay attention when all is seem fine :).

Recently I install libxine (package fixed \o/) and knotify doesn't complain 
aynmore, maybe phonon can tell knotify (or other apps) "Hey I can't play anything because lib aren't here!, install it or tell me where they are and I can work!"

The problem is that I still don't know what was actually missing and what was 
there. Did you only have to fix your libxine package or did you have to 
recompile phonon-xine, or even recompile more of KDE? Did you only miss the 
libxine plugins? All of them or specific ones?

I compile kdelib with only the xine's headers, the library (.so file) wasn't here, Irun kde4, knotify crash, I install the library, knotify don't crash 

kdelibs does not use xine. Do you mean kdebase? And if yes, it is impossible 
to link if the .so file is not present. So it should have failed at linking 
phonon-xine. So either make in kdebase failed or you did have both the xine 
headers and lib installed at the time.

Yes I meant kdebase. I search in CMakelog and output, The only match for 'xine' is  the line wich test the presence of xinelib (compiling a small src file). I don't know what mess I have done, I will try to reproduce that with another debian installation

I have this crash too (I've taken to moving knotify4 to prevent the annoying popups) here is the latest iteration of the bug.  I do not mind re-emerging or trying more updated packages.

What do you need more info on?

Symptoms happened here on my Gentoo Linux as well. For me, removing ~/.xine/config was the solution, which I found after seeing xine_config_load in my backtrace. Probably a xine bug, this one here at least.

SVN commit 835987 by lunakl:

Remove emitting of aboutToQuit() from KApplication::xioErrhandler() - the application
is not about to quit, it is about to fall flat on its face. There is really not that
much to do once KDE apps lose their connection to the X server. How that can happen
while the X server still continues to run is a different question and I don't know
the answer. It is quite possible it is caused by careless usage of one X connection
from several threads concurrently without proper locking.

Is this crash still reproducible? The failed assertion on a missing null xine plugin up in the report is valid and tells you about a broken installation. All the other reports are probably only symptoms of a different problem. Any recent crash backtrace available?

@Matthias Kretz  2008-12-29: KDE 4.1.96, I get frequent pop-ups with knotify crashing.

I get the same backtrace as Øyvind Sæther on x86 platform, built from sources, reproducible every time by running some flash that produces sound in firefox, then getting a notification.

I have NOT seen this "knotify" crash after rebuilding the "media-sound/phonon" WITHOUT the "gstreamer" (USE="xcb xine -debug -gstreamer"). I started building it with USE="-gstreamer" around 4.1.96 (perhaps exactly 4.1.96, which is when I got this problem).

#18 is a different bug, already reported somewhere else and should be fixed in trunk and branch.

Closing this bug now as I believe this is fixed or invalid depending on what of the three different bugs in the comments you're interested.
