This could be related to bug 217619.
Comment 2 Marco Martin 2009-12-10 21:30:30 UTC 
*** Bug 218131 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Jonathan Thomas 2009-12-11 14:50:12 UTC 
As a note, this happens whenever there isn't either a plasma-desktop-appletsrc  period or the current plasma-desktop-appletsrc lacks a systemtray plasmoid.
Comment 4 Dario Andres 2009-12-14 15:46:08 UTC 
@Jonathan: could you upload a "faulty" plasma-desktop-appletsrc ? I have been trying several combinations of possible faulty config files and system tray states but I couldn't reproduce the crash with an updated 4.4 build. Thanks
Comment 5 Jonathan Thomas 2009-12-14 15:48:55 UTC 
I'm not sure about the lacking a system tray part anymore, so it may not happen in that case.
It definitely does happen when no plasma-desktop-appletsrc is present and the corona code generates the default layout.
Comment 6 Dario Andres 2009-12-14 15:54:21 UTC 
I just tried here using:

Qt: 4.6.0 (kde-qt master commit cd8595efe9aace2afdaa5db37af7cfe82b87e4aa
        Date:   Wed Nov 18 01:33:21 2009 +0100)
KDE Development Platform: 4.3.81 (KDE 4.3.81 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091204))
kdelibs svn rev. 1060674 / kdebase svn rev. 1060675
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.31.6

With a clean environment (empty KDEHOME), Plasma-desktop starts normally and the default "scheme" is created

After the first config files are created, if I remove the plasma-desktop-appletsrc file and I start plasma-desktop again, the file is created without problems

In both cases, plasma-desktop doesn't crash... :?
Comment 7 Stewart Peters 2009-12-14 16:00:43 UTC 
Apologies for the delay,subsequent updates seem to have resolved this issue, removed plasma*rc files, restarted KDE 4.4, plasma-desktop started fine, no crashes.

Regards

Stewart
Comment 8 Jonathan Thomas 2009-12-14 16:10:15 UTC 
That's because we uploaded kubuntu-default-settings with a plasma-desktop-appletsrc that was known not to fail. ;-)
Before kubuntu-default-settings wasn't providing a plasma-desktop-appletsrc at all, relying on plasma-desktop to generate a plasma-desktop-appletsrc.

Comment 11 Marco Martin 2009-12-23 12:53:02 UTC 
and, this backtrace doesn't make sense since the crash occurs calling corona->screenGeometry(-1)
where corona is abtained with a qobjectcast and the result is checked with a Q_ASSERT
so corona MUST be valid there

*** Bug 220469 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 13 Dario Andres 2009-12-29 14:05:21 UTC 
The reporter of bug 220469 seems to experience this crash when using the "Container" widget (a special widget from kde-look which allows the user to group several other widgets)
-- Information about the crash:
KDE crashes every time i use Container plasmoid. It doesn't crash instantly but
after i move it a little or add some other plasmoids and try to move it. It
brings down the whole plasma desktop.

Comment 15 Jonathan Thomas 2010-01-08 02:41:58 UTC 
Here's the console output right before the crash, which has relevance to the crash:

plasma-desktop(4601)/libplasma Plasma::AppletPrivate::mainConfigGroup: requesting config for "Battery Monitor" without a containment!
Comment 16 Aaron J. Seigo 2010-01-08 03:02:46 UTC 
SVN commit 1071437 by aseigo:

if the Applet requests config() before being added to a containment, but is nested in another Applet, it should still use the nest-Applet's config. i doubt it is a fix for 218064, but this is at least accurate and may address comment #15.
