Hello David,
Thanks Bram, DR,
I've attached the backtrace from the kplash crash:
ksplash.kcrash (3.4k)
Thank you. It seems this is a different problem than I encountered the other day.
This looks like a splash specific problem (Flexible Plugin for KSplash [1]), and it should be reported to the author(s) of that splash screen. If you do so, I'd suggest to install kdemod3-kdelibs-debug and create a new backtrace, before you submit it. As a sidenote, the problem could be triggered by a packaging problem, for instance that the translations are not properly included. Just a shot in the dark.
To work around this problem right now, I'd suggest to change the splash screen in the KDE Control Centre.

Kind regards,
Bram, Not having filed with http://bugs.archlinux.org/ before, is there anything special I need to do to make sure it is "reported to the author(s) of that splash screen"? I presume it works like any other bugzilla, but is there something beyond that I should know to make sure it gets to the right place? I've installed kdemod3-kdelibs-debug and I will gather a new backtrace to submit. Thank you for your help! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
