[Eric] Crash when on Settings/Preferences

[Darren Dale]

I think this problem was related to some cruft in kubuntu. I had been getting 
some errors about dependency issues in kde4. I removed a bunch of kde4 
packages, ran apt-get autoremove, reinstalled kubuntu-kde4-desktop, and now I 
am able to enter the configurations dialog.

I still have the issue where if I select to use kde4 dialogs in eric 
preferences, the text in the menubars disappears. This was reportedly a 
problem with pykde4 and the oxygen theme, and I read somewhere that it was 
fixed in pykde-4.0.2-2. I installed pykde-4.0.3 with kubuntu's package 
manager, and the problem persists. Fortunately, it is not critical, I can 
simply disable the kde4 dialogs. But if anyone has been able to get this 
option to work, would you please provide some details?

Thanks,
Darren
