> Well, here is how to reproduce.

> 0. Ensure that Xserver is configured to support english/russian keyboard.
> We use followinf lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
> ...
> Option "XkbLayout"  "us,ru"
> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:menu_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
> ...

> 1. Start konqueror
> 2. Open http://ya.ru/
> 3. Create a new tab (e.g. from menu)
> 4. Open http://ya.ru/ in the second tab
> 5. Switch keyboard to russian more (in the above config - by pressing 
> "Menu" key)
> 6. Press Ctrl+W

> And it crashes.

  one of us was able to reproduce this, yes. thanks for the
  instructions.

> I'm duplicating suggested workaround here:

  we are willing to include this patch in the next kdelibs upload (due
  soon). who was this workaround suggested by? if it was some upstream
  KDE developer, that is a plus: is there some mailing list discussion
  available? is there an upstream bug in bugs.kde.org? how are they
  going to fix it?

  thanks.
