If you have some experiance you might try gdb to trace the problem to
the exacht line of code in which file causes the problem, however
that is by no means an easy task, i suggest running;
gdb -c core (in the directory where the core file is) it will tell
you which program caused the core dump, from there on you can by way
of reading documents try and backtrace the code and see just where it
goes wrong. Considering we all get the dam things mostly from kde, i
suggest you just delete them, the kde folks are aware of the problems
involved.
