Amarok issues after upgrade to KDE 4.6.2

Yesterday after upgrading to KDE 4.6.2 and rebooting, amarok started having issues.  I was already running amarok 2.4.0-4 before the upgrade and it was working well.  After the upgrade, it would start normally in the tray but crash every time I tried to maximize it.  So I cleared out all amarok config files from ~/.kde4/share/apps and ~/.kde4/share/config.  After restarting and reconfiguring, the crash went away.  However, now the window does not stay maximized after closing it to the tray.  If I maximize, close to tray, and then open it, the window opens with 1130x540 dimensions, and the widths of the three main panels has been reset.  It's not critical since it stopped crashing with a clean config, but it's an annoyance.  Maybe it just needs to be recompiled with the new kdelibs or something.  Anyone else experience the same thing?

So after rebooting again, amarok is back to crashing every time I try to restore it from the tray.  I'm switching to juk for now.

Re: Amarok issues after upgrade to KDE 4.6.2

Just ran pacman -Syu on my laptop and it's not crashing.  Laptop is single monitor @ 1280x800, and my desktop that's experiencing the crash is dual 1680x1050 monitors in twinview.  I'll try messing with the screen configuration to see if that has anything to do with it.

Still crashes with a single monitor, with desktop effects on and off, and when using a keyboard shortcut to restore the window.  Not sure what else to try.

Re: Amarok issues after upgrade to KDE 4.6.2

Here's what's printed in the terminal when the crash happens:

amarok(12603)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)
amarok(12603)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)
amarok(12603)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)
amarok(12603)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0)
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 30 and type 'Read', disabling...
KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...

About one out of 10 times, it also causes kwin to crash and restart.
