Then report this instead of whining about it. Do you think this is a common problem that occurs very often? And that the GNOME developers just sit there and do nothing about it?
No, it's a rare problem, that's why it hasn't been fixed yet. So don't complain and send a bugreport. Do you think the developers can read your mind?

And for your information: GNOME has almost never crashed once on my system. KDE crash a little more often (though still significantly less than Windows crashes).

If you're using RedHat...
It's old news that KDE crashes easily on RedHat, caused by bad packages. RH is GNOME-centric and doesn't care about KDE.

TRUE! So true I changed almost all my kde rpms from rh's ones to mdk ones (kept some kdemultimedia and arts because mdk uses alsa).
The worse problem is with -devel packages that misses some files or have differences from normal kde packages. I could not compile xmms-kde and other kde apps for a looooooooong time.

I have also not been able to compile KDE apps on mdk for a long time, and I DO
have all the devel rpms properly..some kind of thing with QT:speech API
function missing when running the configure scripts...

Just never realized why, and installing new versions of the rpm packages just
doesn't help...anyone have a solution?

I guess this is totally off subject...sorry guys,
but it was an important question to me..

yeah, all true
some packages are even wrong at all: their kdevelop doesn't work, it has been badly patched.

but i have to say that the quality improved lately, though i think they're still not packaging KDE with all the seriousness they should. Bero is doing hard work on this, but he should listen to comments people send him.

if you look for KDE/QT packages for RH, have a look either at http://www.freshrpms.net/ or http://www.nikosoft.net/rpms/ that have a few of them.
