I've just emerged KDE 3.0.4 but at startup the KDE Panel (kicker) crashes because of a SIGSEGV. Switching back to 3.0.3 didn't help!! Could it help if I re-emerge it with -g and then let you have the backtrace?
I had the same problem. I traced it back right now to the "timemon"-applet which is crashing. I solved the problem by deleting the Applet-Entry which shows the "timemon" in ~/kde3/share/config/kickerrc The other way is to delete kickerrc completely an reconfigure your panel from scratch. But be aware that the system-monitor applet is not working! "timemon" is the system-monitor applet. Any solution to bring the system-monitor applet back working is apreciated...
Matteo: does Fernando's solution work for you? (if it does, please close this bug)
Yes, it was the system-monitor applet... No way to make it work.
What do you mean, no way to make it work? Do you know what causes it? If it's a Gentoo-specific bug it ought to be fixed... Not that I'll have much time to dedicate to it :-/ (I can't wait for when everyone will update to kde 3.1 and leave behind all those kde 3.0.x bugs)...
I mean... system-monitor applet keeps crashing (and bringing KDE Panel with him when put in startup scripts), but if I don't use it then everything's fine. So it's probably KDE's fault (it was faulty in 3.0.2 as well, but in 3.0.3 this problem did not show)
