I'll go for it first, then.

The biggest trouble for me will be dcop.... I think it will be a good moment 
to learn something about it.

I don't think this could be a memory problem, so probably valgrind won't help. 
I enabled the debug mode for nsplugins in kdebase and the only strange thing 
I can remember is that I got a timeout from konqueror. This might be a 
communication problem... but not too sure yet.

Ok, thanks
