Hi, 

I still had the problem with crashes when I try to save the options in the 
selection dialog. Originally I reported this as Bug 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70262

Recompiling from CVS and also upgrading to the latest KDE-CVS-Version did not 
help (Although I really enjoy the new KDE 3.2, it seems to be already quite 
stable!).

Today, by comparing a freshly generated index.xml and my old one that was 
constantly crashing, I finally was able to track down why this happened to 
me:

for some reason, my database-file index.xml contained the following line under 
the tag <configWindowSetup>:

<mainDockWidget>unnamed</mainDockWidget>

Somehow version 1.0 or 1.0.1 of kimdaba did put "unnamed" there. This causes 
kimdaba to crash when saving the options in the selection dialog. When I 
remove the "unnamed" and make the tag "mainDockWidget" empty, kimdaba does 
not crash any more!

<mainDockWidget></mainDockWidget>

Maybe there is a check missing if an invalid access is done somewhere in the 
code when an unknown entry is listed under "mainDockWidget".

Thanks again for Kimdaba... Dominik.
