If this crash is reproducible, please add the backtrace. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/User:DarioAndres/How_to_provide_more_information_about_crash_reports
i tried to do that using dr konqi, which is offered. but as soon as i tried to login to kde.org, i got an error message, that complained about kded not running... at novell (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731570) i just go the tip to delete /var/tmp/kdecache-<user>, and now it kind of works: plasma comes up and looks kind of familiar, although panels and other things have different sizes/positions. but at least, everything seems to be back as it should...
In Dr. Konqi, you can click on the "Save" icon in backtrace tab. Then paste the backtrace as a comment here.
Reassign Network Management bugs to new maintainer. Have a lot of fun, Lamarque!
Without a backtrace there is no way we can fix this :/ Have you been able to reproduce this? if so, can you attach a backtrace?
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Please test again with the latest version and file a new bug in plasma-nm. Thank you!
