Comment 3 for bug 435471

I'm having some issues getting a backtrace. I have installed amarok-dbg, but I simply can't get either Apport or KDE's crash handler to catch Amarok crashing.

I notice that KCrash catches the crash, but never does anything...

Note that this isn't Kubuntu. I'm running standard Ubuntu 9.10, but I gotta have my Amarok!
Perhaps some KDE specific things are not initialised, preventing KCrash from working?
I'll install the whole KDE Desktop if I must, but I'd prefer not...

Here's the end of the output from "amarok -d --nofork" from a recent crash:
