Comment 1 Dario Andres 2011-10-02 13:53:52 UTC
[Comment from a bug report cleaner]
The crash seems to be related to loading some fonts via Qt/fontconfig (for the NetworkManager widget in this case). May be you are using some non-default font which has some problem or your whole font installation has some kind of issue
Regards
Comment 2 Bharath 2011-10-02 14:02:38 UTC
Thanks for checking!

I hadn't made any modifications to the fonts, this happened even after I did clean re-installs of Kubuntu 11.04 32-bit.

However, Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit seems to work perfectly fine with very rare plasma crashes.

Let me know if I can provide more information to help.

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2011-10-10 10:24:53 UTC
Can you check if removing/renaming the file ".fonts.conf" helps? If yes, you probably need to report the bug to fontconfig developers.
Comment 5 Adam Porter 2012-01-28 23:44:50 UTC
I recommend installing 4.8.0 from the kubuntu-ppa backports PPA.  It might fix the crash, among other things.
Comment 6 Thijs 2012-06-02 11:49:04 UTC
Seemed like a upstream bug that should be solved in qt 4.8. Closing as such.
