Well, since I got no further feedback I just tried to begin. So I
checked out konsole HEAD from SVN and tried to compile and running it.

But it just dies with segfault catched by KDE crash manager, but I have
no idea why, since I'm not able to get a backtrace. More exactly:

A GUI message box shows me:

The application Konsole (konsole) crashed and caused the signla 11
(SIGSEGV).
...
(no debugging symbols found)

in shell (launched from xterm)

arno:~$ /opt/konsole/bin/konsole
KCrash: Application 'konsole' crashing...
<unknown program name>(9621)/: Communication problem with  "konsole" ,
it probably crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message
did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "


Well, how to do a backtrace or use gdb with konsole? I do not have
debugging symbols stripped away from this binary.

arno:~$ file /opt/konsole/bin/konsole
/opt/konsole/bin/konsole: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux
2.6.8, not stripped


My KDE 4.1 environment (from Debian experimental) is working fine, up
and running. Any ideas?
