Version: (using KDE 4.1.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages There is a reproducible bug in recent plasma (KDE 4.1.1). When I launch "Druckerverwaltung" (in English versions probably something like "Printer management"), KDE is for some reason automatically launching A LOT of konqueror instances. I doubt that konqueror is actually started. It seems, that the icons are generated but the konqueror processes are not actually there. Therefore, the taskbar is getting flooded with task icons. After some seconds, the icons get so small to become unrecognisable. After a while, the icons start overflowing and slowly to the right, covering the systray, the clock, and even my second screen. I'll attach two screenshots that show the situation after about 3-5 seconds and after about 30-45 seconds. After about 1-2 minuates, a window appears saying "The process for the http://localhost" protocol died unexpectedly and the taskbar is reset to normal.

can you test 4.2 beta 1 (or later?) for this problem?
I have been using weekly KDE snapshots for a couple of months now. Never saw this bug again. I have not been able to reproduce it today with 4.1.81. If cupsd is stopped and I launch "Manage printing", an error message pops up and tells me that a connection to localhost cannot be made. That's fine. If cupsd is running, however, konqueror crashes! That's probably a completely different bug. See the attached crash handler log.

yes, that's a completely different report. i'll send this one over the khtml team. also, if you could, in future please put the backtrace right into the comments, that way they are searchable using bugzilla's search form =) #5 0x00007fef90af63c5 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #6 0x00007fef90af773e in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #7 0x00007fef9315e815 in qt_message_output () from /usr/lib64/qt4/libQtCore.so.4 #8 0x00007fef9315e947 in qFatal () from /usr/lib64/qt4/libQtCore.so.4 #9 0x00007fef8847eb8b in ??
