Sorry, but I fear we cannot do anything for bugs like this. I suggest you to search http://bugs.kde.org for similar bugs, there are really _a lot_ of arts crashes like this one, maybe you can find some useful suggestion there. To make things worse, arts is now unmaintained and new bugs are not likely to be fixed: http://dot.kde.org/1102062404/
