[jaunty] kwin gets killed when oxygen theme is used as window decorator

[Ralph Janke]

Binary package hint: kdm

After upgrade from hardy through intrepid to jaunty, kdm does not start kwin anymore, therefore, no windows-decorations are shown.

I had to install the nvidia driver 185.19 in order to get anything working. Now there are no problems in the Xorg.0.log file anymore. However, as said, the system is not usable without a windows decorator.

The problem seems to be oxygen. It seems to crash kwin.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Could you please install kdebase-workspace-dbg and run "kwin --replace" through gdb as described at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Backtrace please?
Thanks in advance.
