Each time you receive a message from kopete and a notification appears, plasma will crash. This is because the Qt version inside gentoo is missing a patch from qt-copy inside kde repository. As this problem will remain until next Qt major release it might be a good idea to apply this patches inside the ebuild as they fix some major problems. They can be found here: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/qt-copy/patches/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. close all your kopete chat windows 2. wait for a message 3. click view or ignore inside the notification Actual Results: plasma crashed Expected Results: do not crash? :) Portage 2.2_rc12 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.26-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.26-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T9500_@_2.60GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r3 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" " SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a54 aac accessibility acl acpi alsa amarok amd64 amr avahi berkdb bzip2 cdaudio chm cli cpudetection cracklib crypt css cups custom-optimization dbus dri dv dvdr dvdreadencode examples ffmpeg flac fortran gdbm gif glib gpm gs gstreamer gtk hal hardcoded-tables howl-compat iconv imagemagick ipv6 isdnlog it jpeg libv4l2 live lzo mdnsresponder-compat midi mjpeg mmx mp3 mp3tunes mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib mysql ncurses nepomuk network nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nuv objc objc++ ogg opengl openmp openssl openvpn pam pch pcre pdf perl plasma png pppd python qt3support qt4 readline reflection rtsp samba sdl session speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl stream svg sysfs tcpd theora tiff tls truetype unicode v4l v4l2 vcd visualization vorbis webkit x264 xcomposite xml xorg xv xvid zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
First of all you should try to move from monolythic qt ebuild to split packages. That means that you should remove qt-4.4.2 and emerge every qt-X-4.4.2 package that you need Those are qt-core, qt-gui, qt-dbus etc All Gui patches are applied on qt-gui. You may want to try want to try the latest qt-gui-4.4.2-r2 and see if you can reproduce the same problem
Upgrading to qt-gui 4.4.2-rc2 prevents the application from crashing, but makes "view" or "ignore" buttons inside the kopete notification both useless. Pressing anyone of them now does nothing. Before the upgrade they were working correctly, but pressing any of them (or just letting the notification fade away) would result in a crash of plasma.
So now that I looked, we already apply the patch for this bug. We schedule a new revbump for qt-gui with new patches. So I am closing this bug as LATER since your issue is solver with the later qt-gui :)
