Application that crashed: plasma-desktop
Version of the application: 0.3
KDE Version: 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2))
Qt Version: 4.5.0
Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic x86_64
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04

What I was doing when the application crashed:
* kubuntu 9.04 on x86_64
* including updates from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu
* Weather, CPU and Network applets running on Desktop
* Firefox 3.0.11 running (same crash many times with Firefox 3.0.10 also.)
* Pterm running (part of the Putty SSH package.)
* Amarok 2.1 running / seems to be stable / working fine even now.
* dolphin running.
* two KVM VM's running in the background (not affected by these crashes.) One is Windows XP and the other is CentOS 5.3.
* Rdesktop is running (talking to the WinXP VM.)
* smb4k is running
* kdebluetooth & keepassx & "System Load Viewer" in task tray along with Volume and Pulseaudio applets.

* System running fine for several hours
* Went out for dinner, came back & unlocked screen, desktop crashed.

* This happens quite often lately - desktop is seriously unstable. After a few hours of work (more or less as described above,) the task buttons on the task bar start to disappear and, eventually, the desktop crashes. 

I learned to shell into the system and run service kdm restart to avoid a hard reset in many cases. In other cases the crash reporting tool would come-up and the desktop would restart okay. Eventually figured out how to install the debug packages. This is the first report I am able to post because I have changed my network config. to allow this report to work. A proxy server option in the crash reporting tool is badly needed.

Thanks,
Sam.

p.s. added the repo (http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu) to get Amarok 2.1 - forgot to remove it. Wasn't actually planning on running a beta desktop on my main workstation!! Any suggestions for going back to a more stable / non-beta configuration?
