           Summary: Can't load Get New Widgets Online app. crashes the
                    desktop no error msg it just crashes.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux

          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

If I try to load new widgets from on-line the desktop crashes. I don't know how
to post any logs (if there are any) so any info they's contain I can't give as
of yet. Tell where they are and I'll gladly post them. The Desktop does restart
after about ten seconds but it's a very vervous ten seconds.

What I can tell you :

install kde-full. Can't find The Linux Mint 14 KDE release.

Mostly plain vanilla install, then install some stuff from the Terminal and
some with Synaptic.

I did update to the latest kernel and after a reboot uninstall the old kernel
but it did it with the original shipping kernel too. no error messages to
report just the crash with either kernel.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch widgets app
2. click download new widgets button
3. desktop crashes
4. After approx. 10 "very nervous" seconds desktop restarts. No further issues
5. that's it.
Actual Results:  
See steps to reproduce

Expected Results:  
loaded the list of widgets available online so I can chose which one(s) I want.

none.
