Hiya,

When a KDE application crashes DrKonqi will be started to tell you about it.
(it actually works now :-)

If you want to debug an application and are looking for a core dump, you
need to disable DrKonqi. You can do this either by passing --nocrashhandler as
argument to the application or by setting the environment variable KDE_DEBUG to
something before running the program.

And make sure you have done a "ulimit -u unlimited" if you want core-dumps.

Cheers,
Waldo
