Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages For no special reason I got the "A Fatal Error Occurred" message. Aparently after closing another application (can't remember which one). For a moment I lost the desktop, but it restored itself to normal as if nothing happened, so I have the desktop back working as usual (strange way of crashing and then restoring itself). Anyway I am pasting the output of the KDE crash handler. I think this is the first time it happens. THis is Kubuntu jaunty i guess.

this bug can probably be closed, looks like a already fixed one. Could you please retest with kde 4.3 RC2?
(In reply to comment #1) > this bug can probably be closed, looks like a already fixed one. Could you > please retest with kde 4.3 RC2? Hi, I may test it when I get the RC2 or the final version. So far, I can live with it as it doesn't seem to happen frequently. Thanks.
Indeed, this was fixed in KDE4.3 code. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 188378 ***
