From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19pre10ext3 i686) There seems to be a timeout. When I try to add a button to the panel (kicker) and I'm not fast enough, the panel will restart even if I have not selected anything yet. If I am fast enough and select an application, the panel restarts, but the new button doesn't show up Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install kdebase-2.1.9 2. restart X 3. try to add a button: Menu - Configure Panel - Add - Button (wait) a few seconds 3a. try to add a button: Menu - Configure Panel - Add - Button - Internet - Netscape Actual Results: panel restarts, no new button Expected Results: new button with selected application
This happened after I switched over to compiling kdebase with -O3 as recommended by the KDE team. I've reverted to using -O2, it's working now. Assigning to gcc so the optimization problem can be fixed, changing priority to low because we usually don't use -O3.

I belive the panel crashing is due to non-functioning kbuildsycoca!
Can you please provide me with rpms (including .src.rpm) which reproduce this? I've just tried to rebuild kdebase with -O3 and cannot reproduce this (the rest of KDE rpms have been installed from binary rpms). Ideally if you could at least track it down to a specific binary/library which if compiles with flags foo does exhibit the problem and if compiled with flags bar it does not.
The latest round of (KDE) updates (kdebase-2.1-10 etc) has solved the Kicker / panel problems for me (bug #31984 :Add > Applet..)
Verified that it works now
