Thanks, Marc. What is Profile handling? If you paste the bug numbers I
will triage and possibly bring more attention to the matter. Thanks.

What instabilities introduced in 4.4? It's been unstable since 4.0!
Seriously, though I still do get some plasma crashes in 4.4.2, it is
much improved from the 4.0 days. And since plasma restart
automatically in seconds, it doesn't even bother me if it still
crashes.
Do you have the debug symbols installed? You can use KDE tools to
submit a backtrace on a crash in that case. All you have to do is to
click through the wizard.

The eye-candy in KDE 4 was just a consequence of using Qt4.
Application stability is priority, the problem is that the people who
are now experiencing crashes at this stage of development are not
filing crash reports! When the early adopters moved to 4.0 and 4.1,
they filed crash reports and now their systems are stable. File those
reports, please! It is the only way to fix it!
