Description of problem: PackageKit dialogs do not appear when using KDE. The gnome packagekit applet does appear but there's missing icons (another issue). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All current versions of PK 0.10, 0.11 show this problem with KDE 4.0.3. How reproducible: Always reproducible, the dialogs pop up very briefly then vanish and do not display again. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a KDE 4 session 2. Try to use any of the PackageKit gui tools ie, setup times to check for updates, dialog will not stay displayed. 3. Actual results: Any PackageKit dialog will not appear and the user cannot configure PK. Expected results: The user should be able to manage their system with PK from KDE. Additional info: WORKAROUND: use yum update from command line, not a good solution for users.
Can you please run: gpk-update-viewer --verbose and attach the output to this bug. Thanks.

I'm thinking somehow the images/pixmaps are not being shown causing this crash. Since the about dialog which does appear has no packagekit logo icon even.
Can you reproduce this if you use konsole in gnome? I really don't want to have to install the whole kde desktop to try and reproduce :-) Do you have gnome-icon-theme installed?
gnome-icon-theme-2.22.0-5.fc9.noarch yep.
Can you please try "thread apply all bt" in GDB instead of just "bt"? I think this is the backtrace for the wrong thread.
