crash on backup

[pgalves]

openSUSE 11.1
KDE4 4.2.68

First i'd like to say that back in time is a really nice application. Is great that you mode a KDE4 version, there are many for gnome but KDE4 was lacking a good one.

I'm tried the kde4 version of back in time, I had no problem on the first snapshot but now every time a make a snapshot the backintime "service" crashes. The shnapshot is made, but I don't know if it is complete since I get the kde crash dialog.

crash report:

It would be nice to have a log of snapshots made, just to be sure the snapshot was made without errors.
Suport for the new passive popup on system tray, new in KDE4 >= 4.2x.
Use ionice , also the command cp is not using the nice 19.

Sorry for the mix in this bug report.

Backintime use syslog, so you can check there if there are any errors.
