[apport] kicker crashed with SIGSEGV in KMiniPager::slotSetDesktop()

[Marsolin]

Binary package hint: kdebase

I am running the latest Feisty packages in Kubuntu in a VMware Server virtual machine. I installed VMware Tools, selected a new monitor type, set image format to 16:9, and restarted Xserver. After logging in I changed the resolution to 1400x900. It was then that I noticed the Desktop Pager applet was too wide so I removed it and tried to add it again. It was when I added it thhat Kicker crashed, and it does so every time I try to add the pager back.

Thanks for your detailed report. I confirm this as upstream bug of KDE n° 139346 that has the same backtrace.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

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