[arch-general] Chromium crashes KDE 4.5.1
Hi, I am using Chromium 6.0.x with KDE 4.5.1. Whenever any website presents a dialog box asking for confirmation for something (for example in gmail if i close the tab without logging out it presents a dialog box asking for confirmation) and after i click on any button on it the kde panel crashes. Also, i suspect plasma crashes too but applications that are open including chromium do not crash. This happened even in KDE 4.4.However it happens in KDE only and not in any other DE. Please tell me why this happens and how to stop it from happening. Thanks. P.S- Telling me to stop using KDE is not an appropriate answer :P

Using that exact setup and haven't seen this crash yet. Do you have any error logs after starting the panel manually?

Is qt-gtk-engine used as the widget theme for gtk apps?

This was actually inteded for the OP, but anyway, if it works for you, this shouldn`t be the cause...

Well it seems like that's not necessarily (the whole of) the problem, but I have noticed qt-gtk-engine crashes some programs sometimes. A good bet is just to try it again using some standard bundled theme first and see if the same behaviour is reproduced. Cheers, Pete.

Without a gtk engine the gtk apps look ugly in KDE. :(

Well yes that can be true, unless you can find similar themes. A good alternative it qtcurve, which has packages for GTK and KDE, which then makes them look the same. It's also very configurable. But, see my other message :-( Pete.
