I have installed KDE 4.2.1-3.FC10 from the kde-redhat kde-testing repository and plasma segfaults when KDE is starting up. Can anyone tell me how to work out what's wrong? I have also opened a kde-redhat Sourceforge bug tracker ticket: 2667738 but I'm not sure if that's the correct place to report bugs. Backtrace: This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.
