Kdevelop splash screen finishes loading then program crashes

I kept on getting an error with Kdevelop 3.0 when I tried using it. While the splash screen was up I would get a message box "The specified folder does not exist or was not readable". Then Kdevelop would show and the progress bar would reach 100%. Then the program would crash. I thought the "Specified folder does not exist ..." might be referring to to ~/.kde/share/apps/kdevelop, but that and all files under it are fully writable and readable.

I just compiled Kdevelop 3.1 to see if the problem would go away. I deleted libkdevdoctreeview.so (which was stopping the program ranning) then ran Kdevelop to find the same error again. I got the 'SIGSEV 11' error window and looked at the backtrace but it told me the message was of no use.

Any ideas whats happening or what needs to be done to fix it? Or should I look at the KDevelop sources to see what that box is referring to when i'm near the source code again?

Cheers

Maybe it helps to run delete the kdeveloprc config file before starting KDevelop.
It could be trying to open a project that is no longer present and maybe the portecton against this case fails somehow.

Hmm maybe.
I just changed users and it worked, so we'll never know :)
(What I am getting now is a SIGSEV whenever I exit KDevelop. Might see if I can patch that up, something must be up with the close event)
