Sorry it took me so long to send you this. Please find the traceback output attached and inserted below; this time with the debugger packages also installed. I get this on 3 separate computers running kde_3.5.10 over karmic.

I am using kde-3.5 from this PPA on karmic/koala (9.10) for amd64. I upgraded from jaunty (9.04). I also have a i386 laptop and i386

with this same error.
There were lots of problems with the upgrade, including some in the kde-3.5 area. However, most of my problems have been resolved one way or another. However, I have a nagging problem that I cannot seem to resolve. I have 3 separate machines all with this same problem.
when kde3.5 starts up, an error message box comes up with a traceback (attached is an example). The desktop is not configurable, but I can use all my virtual desktops and the panel otherwise. I cannot set a screensaver, background, or any response from the right click on the desktop screen.
How can I fix this problem ? I have already removed all the kde4 packages that I can from my system (at least that I am aware of).

Can you install the debugging symbols (kdebase-kde3-dbg and kdelibs-kde3-dbg) and post the new backtrace?
Thanks!

That's OK; I was busy with the KMail bug anyway. I have created a new bug report so that you can track the status of this bug: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=137
