Hi, it's me again.. :)

This time good news. My problem is solved, and it took this long because I 
wasn't smart enough to look from the right place. The KWrite setting for font 
was somehow set to invalid, which caused KWrite to have no font, get invalid 
values everywhere and crash all the time. I set the font to a correct one and 
everything works again. 

I suggest you add somekind of check for the font, since I did not modify any 
files by hand and did not do anything else like that before this problem 
appeared, so I think someone else might be getting this problem also in the 
future.

But anyway, thanks for the great IDE and so on.. :)
