Version: (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I stumbled upon this while investigating another Kontact bug. I don't have helpful debug info, but I was able to narrow it down. Steps to reproduce: - make sure the default wallet is closed. - Open Kontact with a component other than KNode. - Configure Kontact, go to Usenet component -> Accounts - open settings for an account that contains login information - BOOM The crash does not occur if either of the following is true: - the wallet is already opened (e.g. by accessing it with wallet manager) - the usenet component was already shown (hence KNode fully loaded) - an account is edited that doesn't contain login information (authentication checkbox is disabled), thus doesn't need kwallet Subsequently, I deleted the wallet, and then Kontact crashes as well instead of starting the wizard to create a new wallet (which is what KNode does when editing a contact after the wallet was deleted).
This crash report is at least 3 years old and there were no further comments or status updates since then. Therefore we believe that this crash is already fixed in recent KDE 4 versions or the backtrace is no longer applicable to the current KDE 4 sources. If the crash still happens with a recent KDE version (4.10.5 or 4.11), please add an updated backtrace or provide steps to reproduce.

Well, I haven’t used Knode regularly in a while now, as usenet sadly is pulling out of the general public more and more. I tried to reproduce it with 4.11; when I open the settings for an authenticating account, I get a dialogue to open the wallet. So it seems alright now.
