Application: kcmshell4 ()
KDE Platform Version: 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
Qt Version: 4.8.2
Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686
Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy)

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
I played around with phonon settings, because I tried to make sound work in amarok (it doesn't and also doesn't after deleting phonon and amarok configuration manually) while it works on another computer with the same distro, but with amd64 instead of i386. My distro is Debian Wheezy and after a while and after confirming several times, I quit the settings.

restarting the settings with Alt+F2 and typing "phonon" leads to this crash

- Custom settings of the application:
I don't remember. I played around a bit and changed from duplex to output, input dummy etc

If I start the phonon settings in amarok, or if a I start the phonon settings by typing phonon while amarok is maximized it does not crash so far. (Might not related to amarok, could be that CPU usage has a different pattern then and then some race condition doesn't end bad?)

If amarok is not maximized then it usually crashes, once it didn't.

The crash can be reproduced every time.
