I do not remember exactly which one, but it was related to an invalid ".desktop" file, badly encoded or something like that (non-utf8 where utf8 was expected, or the contrary ...) The hard thing is to find which file it is ! From what I see in my own packages, I find I only modified the K3B one... you can first try to uninstall K3B and try again. To help finding out which file is causing the crash, you can execute kicker under "strace" to see which files are opened during the crash. Open a konsole, make the kicker crash. Crash it again and again until it does not restart automatically. Then, in the konsole, run the following command: strace kicker | tee /tmp/logfile (you must install the strace utility before proceeding) Make kicker crash, then look at the file /tmp/logfile, try to find where and when it crashes. Good luck tracking out this !
