media kioslave crashes, causes konq to crash too

[Daniel Andor <Daniel.Andor@physics.org>]

Hi All,

I set up dbus, hal, and pmount as per the thread on this list, and media:/ 
appears initially at least to work as expected.  However, 'doing' anything to 
one of the devices - even hovering over one with a mouse - causes konqueror 
to crash with a segmentation fault.  Even if I haven't inserted a thing into 
any drives, just hover over one of the mounted harddiscs.

How can I find out what's causing the problem?  To begin with, here are the 
debian package versions:

$ dpkg -l | egrep "^ii.*(hal|dbus|pmount|kio)" | cut -c-60
ii  dbus-1                            0.23.4-6
ii  dbus-1-utils                      0.23.4-6
ii  dbus-glib-1                       0.23.4-6
ii  dbus-qt-1c2                       0.23.4-6
ii  hal                               0.4.8-7
ii  hal-device-manager                0.4.8-7
ii  kdebase-kio-plugins               3.4.2-2
ii  kdemultimedia-kio-plugins         3.4.2-2
ii  kdepim-kio-plugins                3.4.2-1
ii  libhal-storage0                   0.4.8-7
ii  libhal0                           0.4.8-7
ii  pmount                            0.8-2

$ uname -a
Linux pooh 2.6.12-1-k7 #1 Tue Aug 16 22:48:25 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

dmesg doesn't give a clue. 

Advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Daniel.
