Version:           Kopete Version 0.60.1 Using KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) "release 21.1" (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

BUG 136390 talks about a similar problem, but with kde 3.5, and in much greater detail than i can. I am attaching the backtrace in case it can help. I am running stock kopete, so it does not have debugging symbols.

The problem is seen when I login to my yahoo account using kopete, and then run pidgin to login to the same yahoo account. I see a crash immediately. I don;t see this problem with kopete 0.12.7, kde 3.5.9 "release 49.1", openSUSE 11.0.
