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 desktop 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!
Tim
I may have discovered at least part of the problem. If I wipe my .kde3 settings directory (common solution I know, but not all it takes here), and then only use the configuration from the control center, i.e., do not use the right click, configure desktop settings, then it will work without crashing. I will installed the debugger and verify.

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.

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
