           Summary: Kopete crashes with SIGABRT when using stylesheet with
                    incompatible version
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: exabyte at 3mhz.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When one intermixes KDE 3.5 and KDE 4.1 installation and the KDEDIRS variable
is incorrectly set, Kopete might fail to open a chat window, due to stylesheet
mismatch. This is fine, explaining to the user what the problem is, but instead
of producing an useful error message, it just crashes with a SIGABRT.

The steps to reproduce are as follows:
1. Install both KDE 4.1.2 and KDE 3.5.x. Let's say they are installed in
/usr/kde/3.5 and /usr/kde/4.1.
2. Set KDEDIRS to something that has /usr/kde/3.5 before /usr/kde/4.1.
3. (the chat window style might play a role in reproducing this, mine's "Clear"
with "No_avatars" variant selected)
4. Go online
5. Try to open a chat window with anyone


You can then see this message printed on stderr:
!!!!!!! ERROR !!!!!!! - KHTML default stylesheet version mismatch. Aborting.
Check your installation. File used was:
/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/khtml/css/html4.css. Expected STYLE_VERSION 1

And Kopete goes down with SIGABRT. I'll attach a backtrace shortly.
