Bug#273692: Some library problem?
( I am not sure whether it is related to this bug but maybe? )
I happened to observe very similar problems with KDE 3.3 which I
compiled myself from KDE sources using konstruct (== KDE sources
without any Debianisms). konqueror seemed to regularly hang.
I did not track it completely (having limited time I finally
abandoned KDE 3.3 in favour of sarge standard KDE 3.2) but it
seems to me that the problem is somehow related to some image
handling library (I suspected libpng and some header-library
mismatch or sth like that, but maybe something else). My
observations:
- konqueror blahblah.html (where blahblah.html was HTML file
without graphics, javascripts etc) worked
- konqueror some_page_with_graphics.html crashed or displayed
graphics incorrectly (IIRC)
- konqueror run without parameters crashed, probably due to the
graphics in the default page body
- I also remember seeing spoiled images somewhere else (About
window or login window or sth like that) but do not remember the
details,
- finally I remember that there was something wrong regarding
libpng (I do not remember details but libpng-dev was of
different version than libpng or sth. like that)
It is also worth mentioning that for some time I was using some
backports (from backports.org) what could confuse some
apt-upgrades.
Sorry for vague report, I do not remember exact details, but
maybe one can find here some idea of the things to check (for
instance testing konqueror on sample HTML without graphics
specified as command line parameter and checking whether this
changes anything).
If you thing my report does not add anything valuable, just throw
it away.
Regards
