I see this error popup on various installations. The instant one is a 32bit Bookworm freshly upgraded from Bullseye with 14.0.12. Bullseye does it too. The trigger is left clicking on the menu starter. On those where it ever occurs, it only happens once. Trying again after dismissing the popup always works. Anyone familiar with it, what to do to eliminate it?
Pentium 4 32bit host gx270 here with Bullseye, Bookworm and Trixie all exhibit this.
This still happens in 14.1.2.

Yet, for too many years running since first observed, it's happening yet again after doing no more than using kpersonalizer:
Checkboxes checked/enabled in Eyecandy-O-Meter: Desktop Wallpaper Display Contents in Moving/Resizing Windows Icon Highlighting Icons on Buttons Large Panel Icons Panel Background Picture Panel Icon Popups Smoothed Fonts Sound Theme
and then after the desktop painted, I clicked on the menu starter to produce the popup.
Normally I first do clock configuration, panel configuration and the usual customizations in KControl, but this time I skipped that, closed the two new user windows, and went straight to menu starter to cause the malformed popup. :P After that happened, I logged out of TDE again, deleted .trinity again, then opened a new session in exactly the same fashion, kpersonalizer > close KTip > close TDE license window > click menu starter. So obviously it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to reproduce. I don't seem to be able to /not/ reproduce it, since I've done it today 4 times already.
Note that unlike years ago, it's not a just once thing. If the session is kept open and used normally, the popup recurs when attempting to use the menu starter.
