For the record, the following -dbg packages were required:
kde-runtime-dbg
libasound2-dbg
phonon-backend-vlc-dbg
phonon-dbg
vlc-dbg
and the Knotes backtrace now gets 3 shiny gold stars.
I would be adding a note about whether or not the crash was a known crash,
except that Dr Konqui is bamboozling me with the following nonsense when I try
to connect it to bugs.kde.org using my usual account.
There was an unhandled Bugzilla error: unknown response
from the server
You tried to log in using the nick@glimmer.adsl24.co.uk account,
but KDE Bugtracking System is unable to trust your request.
Make sure your web browser accepts cookies and that you
haven't been redirected here from an external web site.

(clicking "here" does absolutely nothing, and trying again just repeats the
same failure; my default browser is Konqueror, in which cookies are enabled)
Jeez, it ain't half getting difficult to report a bug these days :-)
And .. [starts muttering to self] ... even if I can solve this problem,
kde.org will probably only tell me that the version of Knotes in Debian stable
is no longer supported, and that I'm wasting their time ... that's what they
usually say. Maybe Debian should stop shipping Dr Konqui in stable releases
......
Anyway, I'm off to try to figure out what's wrong with logins to bugs.k.o.
Cheers
Nick
