           Summary: kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde hangs long and
                    then crashes
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dyle at dyle.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Using KDE4.8. In the systemsettings clicking Printer Config renders the whole
systemsettings useless, since then the kcmshell4 hangs, showing me a busy
cursor.

Then I tried in the konsole: $ kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde

Which takes looooooong time, to finally crash:

$ kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde
Caught non-fatal exception.  Traceback:
File "/usr/share/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py",
line 734, in setDataButtonState
    printable = (self.ppd != None and
AttributeError: 'GUI' object has no attribute 'ppd'
Continuing anyway..
KCrash: Application 'kcmshell4' crashing...
Fatal Error: Accessed global static 'KGlobalPrivate *globalData()' after
destruction. Defined at
/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.8.0-r1/work/kdelibs-4.8.0/kdecore/kernel/kglobal.cpp:127
Unable to start Dr. Konqi


However I can configure my printers well at http://localhost:631 and also
printing (like PDF via okular) does work.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Installed KDE4.8, open SystemSettings, click on Printer.


Expected Results:  
Show Printer config dialog.
Don't crash.
