Hi, running sid and sid's kde 3.3.2 packages i noticed kcontrol crashing immediately after trying to run it. I couldn't find any bug reports related to this problem and even more confusing can't reproduce it on another sid-system. The crashes started a few days ago, I can't say when exactly because I don't use kcontrol regularly.
### quote from .xsession-errors ### QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-484' to 'kcontrol' ERROR: Communication problem with kcontrol, it probably crashed. KCrash: Application 'kcontrol' crashing... ### Running kcontrol --nocrashhandler creates a core with the following backtrace: ### gdb /usr/bin/kcontrol core ### (gdb) bt #0 0xb6e34117 in XCreateGC () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #1 0xb712199e in qsincos () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #2 0xb7121dac in qsincos () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #3 0xb71221d7 in QPainter::updatePen () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #4 0xb71c9427 in QPainter::setPen () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #5 0xb71cbdbc in QPainter::fillRect () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #6 0xb7fb95d0 in AboutWidget::initPixmaps () from /usr/lib/libkdeinit_kcontrol.so #7 0xb7fb1baa in TopLevel::TopLevel () from /usr/lib/libkdeinit_kcontrol.so #8 0xb7fafac5 in KControlApp::KControlApp () from /usr/lib/libkdeinit_kcontrol.so #9 0xb7fb083e in kdemain () from /usr/lib/libkdeinit_kcontrol.so #10 0x0804860b in ??

Finally the last lines of strace's output: ### strace kcontrol ### [...] write(3, "\0\4\1\0\3\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0:#\321\347u\262J\206\335"..., 32) = 32 read(3, "\0\10\0\2\2\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "\3\0KDE\0\0\0\3\0002.0\0\0\0", 16) = 16 getsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERCRED, "=\1\0\0\350\3\0\0\350\3\0\0", [12]) = 0 getuid32() = 1000 getpid() = 593 write(3, "\1\2\1\0G\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 12) = 12 write(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\vDCOPServer\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\25regi"..., 53) = 53 write(3, "\0\0\0\16anonymous-593\0", 18) = 18 read(3, "\2\3\0\0026\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "Y\0\0\0", 4) = 4 read(3, "\0\0\0\vDCOPServer\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\tQCString\0"..., 54) = 54 write(3, "\1\2\1\0]\0\0\0Y\0\0\0", 12) = 12 write(3, "\0\0\0\16anonymous-593\0\0\0\0\vDCOPServer"..., 80) = 80 write(3, "\0\0\0\tkcontrol\0", 13) = 13 read(3, "\2\3\0\0022\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "Y\0\0\0", 4) = 4 read(3, "\0\0\0\vDCOPServer\0\0\0\0\16anonymous-593"..., 50) = 50 write(3, "\1\2\1\0S\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 12) = 12 write(3, "\0\0\0\16anonymous-593\0\0\0\0\tkcontrol\0\0"..., 66) = 66 write(3, "\0\0\0\5/tmp\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 17) = 17 read(3, QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() "\2\4\0\2\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "\1\0\0\0", 4) = 4 write(2, "ERROR: Communication problem wit"..., 65ERROR: Communication problem with kcontrol, it probably crashed. ) = 65 close(3) = 0 exit_group(255) = ? ### So I'd be glad if there was someone who could at least give a small hint about what might be the problem.
