Huh???  Where does OpenGL come into this?  I did
-graphicssystem raster on the command-line when KMM produced
the log I sent you.  What I see appearing on screen is a KMM splash
widget, then, for a fraction of a second, a main window.  Then the app
terminates itself (using "exit()" perhaps).  So the problem is occurring
just a few seconds after KMM starts.

Ordinarily "raster" graphics are not enabled in Qt4-Mac and that is
a major problem in a lot of KDE apps, but when we enable them in
KMM … this is what happens.  Other KDE apps work better with raster.

I don't think anybody has yet succeeded in building Calligra on Apple OS X.

No, no crash, just the stderr log.

As soon as I can get a testbed for KDE built from source (I am close now),
I will try building KMM.  If I succeed, I can compile in debugging messages
to help narrow this problem down some more.

Cheers, Ian W.
