KDesktop crash on KDE-initiated restart (SIGSEGV 11)

[Arthur Penn]

Of late my Edgy Kubuntu machine has started reporting a KDesktop crash after I initiate a restart via the KDE shutdown button. This does not seem to occur when I restart via 'sudo shutdown -r now'. Backtrace is attached.

I am also getting Kdesktop crash at shutdown, Sigsegv 11. This occurs either using the Shutdown of KDE or pressing the power button of the PC briefly.
Edgy on AMD64 3700, KDE3.5.5. Nvidia 9629, onboard Geforce 6100.

Do you have latest patches installed from edgy-updates? What is the version of you ksmserver package?

[Arthur Penn (arthur-penn)]

I've kept things patched current. ksmserver shows up in Adept at version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2. I haven't noticed the crash for the last week or so, but I don't shut down very much.

Got an immediate crash on first launch of Kubuntu Feisty beta daily build 20070402 after install.
backtrace attached.

same - immediate crash as KDE starts. First launch of daily build 20070407 on amd64
backtrace attached

I ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (see bug #89289 ) and rebooted. X and kde came up with the right resolution, and no crash this time.

This isn't an issue in Kubuntu Intrepid (8.10) since KDesktop is no more. (replaced by Plasma)
Thanks for the bug report, and thanks for your interest to help Kubuntu!
