Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs For testing I generated a new user account (with KDE 4.2 I had one, too, but deleted it after some time). I can't however, login to the account properly, as plasma-desktop crashes after startup before the desktop is shown. Restarting it via KRunner produces further crashs (the desktop background is visible for a second, but plasma crashes before the task bar is drawn). I can reproduce this with other new users, deleting plasmarc/plasma-appletsrc before login does nothing. At least I get a backtrace: Application: Plasma-Arbeitsfläche (kdeinit4), signal: Segmentation fault [KCrash Handler] #5 0x00007f66882186d6 in Plasma::Svg::paint(QPainter*, QRectF const&, QString const&) () from /usr/lib64/libplasma.so.3 #6 0x00007f667331f3d3 in NetworkManagerApplet::paintInterface (this=0xa90ea0, p=0x7fffbc862430, option=<value optimized out>, contentsRect=@0x7fffbc862250) at /usr/src/debug/networkmanager/applet/applet_wip.cpp:67 #7 0x00007f66881a29e5 in Plasma::Applet::paint(QPainter*, QStyleOptionGraphicsItem const*, QWidget*) () from /usr/lib64/libplasma.so.3 #8 0x00007f668e72d4a5 in _q_paintItem (item=<value optimized out>, painter=0x7fffbc862430, option=0x7fffbc862580, widget=0x0, useWindowOpacity=false, painterStateProtection=true) at graphicsview/qgraphicsscene.cpp:4630 #9 0x00007f668e72d7bd in _q_paintIntoCache (pix=0x7fffbc862bc0, item=0xa90eb0, pixmapExposed=@0x7fffbc862d10, itemToPixmap=@0x7fffbc862940, renderHints={i = -1132057200}, option=0x7fffbc862580, painterStateProtection=true) at graphicsview/qgraphicsscene.cpp:4668 #10 0x00007f668e73339f in QGraphicsScenePrivate::drawItemHelper (this=<value optimized out>, item=0xa90eb0, painter=0x7fffbc8634c0, option=0xb2a5a0, widget=<value optimized out>, painterStateProtection=true) at graphicsview/qgraphicsscene.cpp:4953 #11 0x00007f668e733cc7 in QGraphicsScene::drawItems (this=<value optimized out>, painter=0x7fffbc8634c0, numItems=17, items=0xb58260, options=0xb29f70, widget=0xb23070) at graphicsview/qgraphicsscene.cpp:5102 #12 0x00007f668e755588 in QGraphicsView::paintEvent (this=0x74eb50, event=<value optimized out>) at graphicsview/qgraphicsview.cpp:3528 #13 0x00007f6685b73f76 in ??
