I'm on virtualbox, using kubuntu 13.10beta1 2. I have it set up with apcio... and two cpus.. donno if that matters, and I have a few other hardware acceleration options enabled. 3. click on touchpad within the mouse module Actual Results: crash Expected Results: if it really is a downstream problem, there should be a message telling me that there is a known bug with synoptics drivers, and give me the contact information for them. It should also not crash the whole program. Handle crashes well.
I know what you mean, but "resolved" means: KDE developers do not need to take any further actions, either because the bug is fixed, or has to be fixed elsewhere. Regarding your other suggestions: The crashes should simply get fixed. No further code will be added to "handle" them, except what's already done by DrKonqi.
