kicker crashing continuously

[Claude Jones]

This has been happenning for awhile, but now, I am unable to click on the 'K'
button to get my menu without a crash. I can't get a backtrace because it
says it can't find 'gdb'
If I restart from the command line, I get the following:

kicker
[***@tehogee1 ~]$ libpng warning: Ignoring gAMA chunk with gamma=0
libpng warning: Invalid cHRM white point
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc
kicker: crashHandler called
KCrash: Application 'kicker' crashing...
[***@tehogee1 ~]$ X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x1600085
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3

Major opcode: 19
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x1600008

Where is this bad window parameter coming from? Does anyone have any idea what
is going on?

yum install gdb

To get better backtrace:
yum --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo install kdebase-debuginfo

Does this happen for *all* users on this box, or just one? (Try logging
in as root, for example).

Thanks for both your replies. The machine is at home and I'm not,
but I'll give those a try this evening and report back.

I rebooted the machine and the kmenu started working again, by
the way, if that tells you anything; simply restarting kicker
from the command line was not getting the kmenu back.

as mentioned this am, a reboot solved the problem of it crashing every time I
clicked on the Kmenu buttoon
I've been stable for hours now, and through multiple clicks on Kmenu...
It will eventually crash - been doing that for months but I've got gdb
installed, so I'll post whatever backtrace says the next time this happens
