           Summary: System crashes on attempt to open any video-file
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: h.schoettke at gmx.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Whenever I try to play a video-file (also when I try to acces xine's
preferences), the GUI freezes. This happens with various media-players
(SMPlayer, KMPlayer, VLC, xine) First the mouse-curser still moves, but as time
passes by, even the keyboard does not cause any action (CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to
tty1 does not work). The only way to acces to the computer is via ssh. When I
enter "invoke-rc.d kdm restart" the GUI restarts, when I do this before the
total freeze. The only remaining problem with the restart of the GUI is, that
the screen remains totally black, even after logging on by guessing where there
should be username and password-fields on kdm (the curser indicates when being
moved over the fields).
The only solution is to completely reboot the machine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see above.




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686
