hoo boy, I hit the maximum comment length for bugzilla with this backtrace, so I have to report it manually instead of through the wizard. I couldn't find a knotify component, though. o.0

good news is, the actual crash was in thread 293 of 294, so this partial backtrace should actually be useful! :)

I've got the full bt saved, too, but I won't bother attaching it unless someone really wants to read it.

here's the top of what the wizard wanted to send:
Application: knotify4 (4.0)
KDE Platform Version: 4.4.90 (KDE 4.4.90 (KDE 4.5 RC1)) (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 4.6.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default i686
Distribution: "openSUSE 11.2 (i586)"

-- Information about the crash:
for the past... week or two... knotify4 has been crashing several times a day. sometimes my system becomes unresponsive for a minute or so before it crashes - it gets hard to type, and sometimes kwin turns off compositing because that gets too slow. sound often seems to stop around the same time, too; in fact, I can't even use mplayer right now, and knotify4 is already using ~40% cpu again. :/ either knotify is going mad because it can't access the sound, or it's hogging the sound because it's gone mad. the latter would be more likely - I quit firefox and killall'd nspluginviewer, and I don't have any music apps running, so knotify *should* be the only thing using sound, and it's still nuts.
I just kill -9'd it (killall only worked on one of the two processes), and sound has returned - so yeah, it looks like it goes insane and eats my sound card every so often. :/

it's probably coincidence, but X has been destabilizing in the last two weeks as well (two random X crashes yesterday :( )

I'm running trunk kdelibs/kdebase (updated last night, no change), and suse 4.4 packages for nearly everything else.

The crash can be reproduced every time.
