From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: After the latest up2date upgrades, the nspluginscan during KDE login crashes during "Initializing Peripherals" with "The application nspluginscan (nspluginscan) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)." Subsequent logins do not display the same nspluginscan dialogue, unless you set "Scan for new plugins at KDE startup" in the Control Panel. Strangely, scanning for new plugins manually from the KDE control panel does not crash. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to KDE. 2. Wait for the "Initializing Peripherals" where it would run nspluginscan. Actual Results: KDE Crash dialogue, "The application nspluginscan (nspluginscan) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)." No debugging symbols. Expected Results: Nothing. Shouldn't crash.

It was barfing on some not-100%-standard Mozilla plugins (didn't notice in time because I didn't install Mozilla). Fixed in 2.2-5
