Hi,

unfortunately I cannot reproduce this problem on my system. According to the 
gdb output, it seems to be related to Qt. Did you compile Qt 4.5.1 yourself? 
Did you compile all the other software yourself? Did you check, that you 
don't have older libraries lying around your system? These could be picked at 
runtime and could cause seg faults. I had some of these problems myself.

Regards,
Detlev
