Backtracing not possible. When running kate with sudo - same message - and as additional effect system does not reboot or shut down.

If you can reproduce the crash at will, may you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports and post a complete backtrace here? You need to install the "kdesdk-dbg", "kdelibs5-dbg" packages Thanks
Reproducing the crash after installing the two "-dbg" modules. Some mor system informations: Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.2.3, installed in logical partition, bootloader "grub", bug was reproduced on different systems: NoName, Fujitsu-Siemens, Medion". Case 1: opening a terminal, starting kate, closing kate using file-menu: Terminal dialog: admin1000@pcag-nb1:~$ kate KCrash: Application 'kate' crashing... sock_file=/home/admin1000/.kde/socket-pcag-nb1/kdeinit4__0 crashmanager report - see attachment kate.crash1 After closing kate going on working was possible. Case 2 (sudo-case): opening a terminal, changing directory, starting kate with sudo kate The behavior differes from that without the installed debugging modules. The terminal dialog behaves as usual - see attachmet terminal_dialog. Now system creates an x-message: "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation" Closing the x-message - (okay button) system logs out and a new login window is created. Now shutting down and rebooting is no problem.

This was fixed recently on trunk. (it was a Qt bug fixed when using Qt4.5.1+) Marking as duplicate of bug 185708 Thanks. You can explain the other issue in a different report against the "kde" product. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 185708 ***
