I've just upgrade to kde 4.8 this morning and I'm getting several crashes. I had to move my usual home directory and create a new empty one to just have plasma barely running. Still, every qt/kde application crash. To see some debug information I've run uxterm and launched some application from there, here is what is printed on console from:
Dolphin: QPixmap::operator=: Cannot assign to pixmap during painting KCrash: Application 'dolphin' crashing...

Strangely clicking cashew->"desktop settings" actually displays the desktop dialog correctly, so I'm a bit confused on what's going on. Firefox and chrome run correctly also. It seems some bug related to QT rather than kde itself. Notice infact that plasma-workspace works fine, folderview is able to render directories content and also displays the configuration menu. The machine I'm running sabayon (stable repository) is an Asus laptop N53 with core i7, the graphic card I'm using is the integrated sandybridge.
