Comment 9 for bug 1021308

I can reproduce this in a kubuntu VM.

The root of the problem appears to be that there is no initial "style-update" signal on kubuntu send on the oxygen-gtk3
style theme. This appears to be caused by commit:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.cvs/1125401

Now this affects more than just the crash, the other effect is e.g. the listview problem described in comment #8
and maybe more. We need to look at all places that call "style-updated". One workaround could be to use the old
"style-set" signal which is still delivered on kde4, not sure about the xfce engine, but I suspect its a similar issue.
