           Summary: KOrganizer crashes on start (because holiday region is
                    selected)
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nicodietrich at web.de


Version:           4.3.4 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-gentoo-r1

## Problem

Following problem suddenly appeared, I guess when upgrading from 4.3.3 to
4.3.4.

Starting korganizer results in

<unknown program name>(4030)/: Communication problem with  "korganizer" , it
probably crashed. 
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not
receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " 

Starting korganizer --nofork results in
zsh: segmentation fault  korganizer --nofork

Clicking the korganizer tab from inside kontact also crashes the whole program.


## Analysis

I found out that the culprit is the holiday setting:

Removing the line "Holidays=de" from the [Time & Date] section of my
korganizerrc solved the problem. Selecting a holiday region again via GUI makes
the program crash again on the next start.

Furthermore this does only occur to me when "Current View=Month" in the
[General] section of korganizerrc. 

It might be that the bug only occurs when current view is set to month view
(and not day or week view), because there is no holiday today or this week (at
least in DE), but this month - but this is just a guess.

Once started it is possible to change to month view and the holidays show up
without a crash.


## Related bugs

I guess this is the same bug as bug 197047, but I filed a new bug as the other
is "resolved downstream" and I have no permissions to reopen and fear that
comments on closed bugs might not be noticed.
