I don't know. May be there is still somewhere > a 'red herring'? :-) It might very well be one still left ;-) A couple of days ago I suddenly started getting kded4 crashes after I checked for upgrades with kpackagekit and found at least one upgrade. As this was new, and I had been able to use kpackagekit without any problems since the last packagekit upgrade, I started downgrading what I had recently upgraded in other packages. However this didn't solve the crash-problem so I re-upgraded again. All the time I checked frequently if the kded4 crash still was there and it was! After much thought I remembered that I had adjusted the KDE system-settings at about the time the crashes started. Some experimentation later I found that if the "Kpackagekit-tj?nst" (-service in english) is started in system-settings > Advanced > Services kded4 crashes some ten minutes after kpackagekit is closed whether I actually upgraded something or not as long as there are upgrades available. This is fully reproducible. I also have a backtrace but I doubt if it's of any use. It's included below anyhow. I use kpackagekit-0.5.2-1.fc12.x86_64.
