I have been trying to modify a widget engine and had added the following 
code
to its constuctor to check whether kicker is tranparent: 

KConfig kickconfig("kickerrc",true,true,"config");
kickconfig.setGroup("General");
kickerTrans = kickconfig.readBoolEntry("Transparent", false); 

Running one of the sample programs from the qt library, progressbar 
segfaults
and a gdb backtrace gives the following error:

Can someone tell me what has happened cos IMHO, the code is sufficient?
P.S. Iam not on the list so kindly CC to me in replies.
