XML KAction problem.

Tue Sep 24 17:31:57 BST 2002

Ave,

after updating qt-copy and kdelibs we found out that make_it_cool KMail 
has been crashing at the start. A little surprised we started debugging 
it. Don found and fixed the problem which was the fact that one can't 
use KAction's before createGUI is called anymore. Unfortunately this 
problem isn't make_it_cool KMail specific as other KDE applications use 
KAction's before calling createGUI as well. For example try ark from 
kdeutils and try opening any archive with it - you'll see it crash. I'm 
attaching the backtrace. I'm not sure what might be causing that crush. 
It seems that one of the QDockWindow's stored in dockWindows in 
qdockarea.cpp is destroyed at some point and never removed/set to 0. 
This might cause serious problems as I'm not sure how many applications 
use KAction's before calling createGUI and it's hard to predict how 
many of them will be crashing. Could someone take a look at this.

Zack
