  you have to install qt-x11-free-dbg, kdebase-dbg, kdelibs-dbg and
probably kdegraphics-dbg packages, so that the backtraces are not full
of (no symbol found) meaning that the backtrace cannot be used to
anything useful.

  sorry for the tone, we just have too many of those backtraces thrown
at us daily, with no explanation on how to reproduce the bug, and the
user usualy think they were useful, and it's sometimes iritating.

  if you can provide a good backtrace, with the dvi file you sent + that
backtrace, I've enough to forward the bug upstream.
