I think this may be related to similar problems I had with kde in general
when I installed FC2 way back when.  Then, just waving the mouse over a
printing function in the menu's would kill half of kde and x would have
to be restarted. I went so far as to build kde from scratch, installing
3.3.0 entirely in my root partition, and ran it till 2 weeks ago.  The
problem wasn't fixed, and it turned out to need a local build of a newer
version of cups that never did make it into FC2.  But that konstruct
built and installed kde just sat there and ran, and never, ever suffered
from any of the gripes folks were squawking about on this list at the
time.  The only thing that didn't work, ever, was the spell checker, and
now, with a fresh, from scratch FC6 install, it still isn't working.  Its
enabled according to the control center settings, but its not correcting
or otherwise indicating in any way that its running other than a ps -ea
says its process # 5410 right now.  It does work if I run it from the
tools pulldown, but I think I've seen it highlighting miss-spelled words
on other installs.

Anyway, it somewhat OT since kwallet=crashomatic is the subject.
