Didn't know which of these to attach to . But I have been experiencing similar problems with near constant crashes of kicker. Then I noticed that when kicker crashed the systray applet would come back in a "damaged" state with only half of it's icons or worse.

So I created a new panel small that only holds systray. Not a single crash since then. If I put another applet in that panel, or if I move the applet to my other panel. It crashes. Further testing in that PCLinuxOS just updated to kde3.8. Low and behold the exact same behavior. Constant kicker crashes, I moved the systray off and sure enough, the crashes have stopped. I plan on checking upstream for bug reports. But it does seem to be connected to systray and related to kde3.8.

This isn't an issue in Kubuntu Intrepid (8.10) since Kicker is no more. (replaced by Plasma)
Thanks for the bug report, and thanks for your interest to help Kubuntu!
