Version: (using KDE 4.3.4) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages The crash handler can't submit anything and returns with undefined error, so I am pasting manually: Application that crashed: plasma-desktop Version of the application: 0.3 KDE Version: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4) Qt Version: 4.5.3 Operating System: Linux 2.6.31-1-686 i686 Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid) What I was doing when the application crashed: I attached a Nokia E75 which has a weird path. Zsh completion sees it as: _PNG$'\r''\n'$'\032' Both Dolphin and the Plasma Workspace crashed within seconds. When I restart Plasma using the below, it crashes again. richih@adamantium ~ % kbuildsycoca4 richih@adamantium ~ % kquitapp plasma-desktop <unknown program name>(5727)/: "Application plasma-desktop
