(15 minutes after that post I realized it was xubuntu). Even after RTFM
I cannot puzzle out which KDE services are the problem here.

I can say this: kbibtex search works more or less correctly the first
few times it is run after boot (possibly after X restart, have not tried
that obvious test yet). Sometimes the search [Google Scholar] completes
100%; but most often it gets to 98%, but the search-results window is
accessible, I can import, save, etc. Clicking CANCEL allows me, often,
to search again, successfully.

But at some point, CANCEL causes crash and results above. After that,
kbibtex will not search until after next reboot.

I could "live" with that. But.... sigh, export fails, complaining about

<argument> \...@listctr

and claims to write to bibtex-to-pdf.log, but find . | egrep cannot find
any such log. And I cannot paste from the error dialog box.


Has this program EVER worked? I'd love to debug, but I am writing a
thesis and have no extra brain cells.


I did ps axuw and diff, with kbibtex running successfully and after it crashed, 
and came up with only this:
