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!
