Here are my side info:
HAL-0.5.13, Xorg 7.5, Qt-4.6.0, 32-bit x86, OS: FreeBSD 7.2 (Tomahawk
Desktop).
Its only plasma-desktop crash. After the plasma-desktop crash, I can
press Alt-F2 and run krunner, from there I can select and run konsole.
The konsole screen appear but goes off, konsole does not crash. Since
konsole disappear, I cannot run anything any further.
