Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages How to reproduce the crash (100% of the time on my machine): - Open the "Add plasmoid" dialog box ; - On the bottom, choose "Download new plasmoids" from the "Install new plasmoids" menu. It opens the "Get Hot New Stuff" window ; - Switch to the "Add plasmoid" dialog box, using alt+tab or the mouse and close it (Close button on bottom or X button on top right) ; - Close the "Get Hot New Stuff" window and voilà, segfault. Expected behaviour : Maybe KDE should not allow the "Add plasmoid" window to be closed while the "Get Hot New Stuff" window is open, and/or plasma shouldn't crash when the window is closed... Loaded plugins (not sure about the name, i only know the french ones) : Desktop manager ; App launcher ; New peripherial notificator ; Digital clock ; Miniature box.

I tried to reproduce this crash on 4.3/4.4 code and I could not do it: see bug 198421. So it is probably fixed. However, as 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 "kdebase-workspace-dbg" and may be "kdelibs5-dbg" packages. Thanks
yes, this bug if fixed. :)
