KWD (kde-window-decorator) crashed in Hardy LTS 8.04 at start-up

[Oliver Damian]

Binary package hint: kdebase

I get the error below when starting up kde 4, not all the time, but lately yes, I'm not sure what causes it. I've installed all the upgrades released for Hardy. The error sometimes takes out the minimize, maximize, and close icons on the upper right corner of a window but not all the time. I'm running on an HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook.

Error message: "The application KWD (kde-window-decorator) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEV)."

Thank you for filing this bug. Please install kdebase-dbg and see if you can get a better backtrace with all debug symbols. I don't think it'll help though since kde-window-decorator is part of compiz.
