Here using: Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy 958974) KDE: 4.2.85 (KDE 4.2.85 (KDE 4.3 Beta1)) kdelibs svn rev. 967040 / kdebase svn rev. 967041 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.2 I can reproduce the crash with the provided steps. However, the "Overwrite" file dialog didn't appear. It only appeared a message in the Dolphin statusbar saying "The file X already exists" And the notification can be cancelled and removed (this was fixed from the Plasma side) I guess it is trying to kill a job which doesn't exist. I wonder if this is a kdelibs bug. Backtrace: --- Application: Dolphin (dolphin), signal: Segmentation fault [KCrash Handler] #6 0x0070004f in ??
