For me it crashed deep inside graphviz/dot code IIRC, so no idea how to
fix that. I've fetched 2.24 from the homepage and built it. No idea
wether something went wrong there... 

Hmm, seems to work just fine with a package-installed version of
graphviz :)

Thanks.

If you can do that I suggest to contact kleag, he's the owner of
kgraphviewer and IIRC doesn't have much time to hack on it - hence its
not done. I did approach him 2 weeks ago or so and he said he'd look
into it, he'd sure welcome any help :)

Ask kleag to do it, IIRC Albert Astals Cid (aacid) also helps with
releasing extragear apps.

If we want to go with that I can ask the responsible people to create a
module dir for us and also check back on the exact terms regarding
release etc... (Not sure if techbase says anything about this)
