Hm. I've just used the GUI installer, perhaps it might be a good idea to
make a version that is already compiled with debug info the default
while in pre-release state (and perhaps provide one without as a special
aside)?

I'm pretty sure I'll not have time to download all the sources (no fast
Internet where I am right now) and compile things (and how much/which
parts? Everything or just Konqueror?), but would very much like to at
least contribute with as useful bug/crash reports as possible.

Will at least look for what this DrWatson thingie has gathered, don't
know whether such info is useful.

Adding info: This is why I opened the menu crashing Konqueror.

Will do, once I get that far.
