[… some diagnostic, database works after full rescan and restart, but 
playlist still empty …]

Thanks. I will check this.

But since I didn´t change anything in there, I doubt that it is a 
permission problem.

I don´t think that Amarok crashes on exit. I do not get a visit from Dr. 
Konqi. But I will start Amarok from command line and exit it in order that 
I do not miss a crash thats only reported in command/debug output.

Ciao,
