LinuxQuestions.org - KDE4.4.5 crashes when starting language settings in systemsettings

Hi there,

I am trying to switch to KDE4.4.5 on my main machine. I installed the KDE packages and also the german language file. Everything works fine except the language settings. When I try to start it crash and a KDE crash dialog opens that gives this "developer information":

Code:

Application: System Settings (systemsettings), signal: Segmentation fault

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5-gdb.py", line 9, in <module>

    from gobject import register

ImportError: No module named backtrace

I have no idea why this happens. It works on my netbook. I run on both machines Slackware 13.1. The only difference I can think of is that KDE was pre-installed on my netbook and I just upgraded it. On my main machine I installed all packages except the packages of kde and kdei.

Any ideas?
