No crash on my system, although it does come up with 7 error message boxes in 
a row complaining that it is "Unable to find a multimedia backend", so it may 
well be something to do with that.

Anyone got any ideas what might be happening, I don't really know my way 
around any of the multimedia & Phonon stuff.

By the way all, I plan on giving Kolf some much needed work this weekend, it's 
starting to feel quite a way behind many of the games. Most of the 
programming work needed is just tidying around the edges, but I'm really 
worried about performance. The levels with a few moving platforms feel really 
sluggish and I've no idea why. I remember a while ago there were problems 
with QGraphicsView's performance, are they gone now or is that likely to be 
causing Kolf's slowdown issues? Any thoughts on what I can do about it? (If 
you're wondering what I mean, load up a hole like Hard 13. While it is far 
better than it was early this year, it is still quite a painful experience 
when compared to Kolf on Qt 3.)
