Perhaps only enable drkonqi for debug builds? That's the kind of backtrace that should be useful, otherwise the bt would be useless anyway... I'm not so sure about all this, I do think that backtraces are valuable to us, and I also think that it would be cheating to just hide the drkonqi window, but on the other hand, if it improves the user experience, that's good, no? -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
