Thanks for the reply Joe.
Here are a few lines of context around the segfault running konsole and
konqueror from strace, as well as links to the full output:

kmail dumps this:

KCrash: Application 'kmail' crashing...
DCOP aborting (delayed) call from 'anonymous-5590' to 'kmail'
ERROR: Communication problem with kmail, it probably crashed
My untrained eye cannot see anything wrong with the strace:
http://badcomputer.org/strace_kmail.txt [58K]
that is, there is no segfault.
I am going to have to read the gdb docs a bit before I can figure out how to
use it to get a backtrace. It certainly doesn't like the fact my binaries are
stripped. Here's what I could come up with:
$ gdb konqueror

and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.
warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint

kbuildsycoca running...
DCOP Cleaning up dead connections.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x in ?? ()
I will have a further play with gdb and post back if I learn something. I
guess I will poke around upstream (KDE's) bugzilla and see if there is
anything there as well.
Thanks,

[gentoo-ppc-user] KDE completely broken
Hello all, I am having troubles with all KDE apps since a recent upgrade to 3.5.7 from 3.5.5. At first I thought it was related to all the upgrade troubles with expat (which was upgraded to version 2 at the same time) however I am not so sure anymore. 'emerge -puD' reports nothing to update, and 'revdep-rebuild' says everything is kosher. Everything seems to work fine on this box now except for kde apps, and I have not found a single kde app that does work. I typically use kde as my default WM/Desktop. After the upgrade, when I 'startx' I get nothing but a black screen, except for the mouse cursor, which tracks across the desktop normally. Nothing else has an effect. So I changed to Fluxbox, and the desktop starts fine. When I attempt to start kde apps from an eterm I get (as example): $ konsole kbuildsycoca running... DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. Kcrash: Application 'konsole' crashing... $ Depending on the app, the output is similar, but not always identical. When I use strace when starting I can see that all the apps are segfaulting. I would post output here but the segfaults happen in different places depending on the app. Sometimes it is triggered by a read/write call, sometimes by a mprotect call and so on... Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here? I realize I have not posted much useful information to diagnose this, but I am unsure how to troubleshoot further. I will certainly post output of any commands that may help... System is a Powermac G5, Kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r5, 64 bit userland.
