Kicker Bug

As most of you might know, there is a bug in the KDE 'Kicker' panel.  As a result every time i restart. logout, or shutdown my computer i get an error message from KDE telling me about kicker.  This is a problem because the system will do nothing until i click the close button.  Is there a way i can have this message supressed, or make it so that i wont have to click this button every time i want to restart my computer?

Re: Kicker Bug

Ive found that running some in the systemtray causes the crashing.
I cant recall which programs i had running before apart from superkaramba.

At the moment in only running gaim, irkick, amarok, kmix and kalarm.

Hope u have the problem sorted, if not try playing round with the programs u have running in the system tray.

Re: Kicker Bug

I solved this by adding the "Lock/Logout Buttons" applet to the kicker and using them to logout, instead of going through the K menu. YMMV !!
