Well, all crashes aren't caused by the same thing.  They probably fixed 
one crash and you were lucky enough to find another one. :-)

I don't think that the back trace helps.

Could you please run it in a Konsole and post the last 20 lines that 
print before it crashes.

I suspect that you have a 'desktop' file that has somehow become 
corrupted and when it tries to read it, it crashes.  You might want to 
do this several times to make sure that the same thing causes it each time.
