[Bug 400768] [NEW] KDE4 plasma_applet_networkmanagement crashes when stopping or starting vmware-networks

[JW]

Public bug reported:

I have a bug report over with KDE that has been repointed here.

This is the bug:  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199787

While the issue _is_ with KDE, there is no debug package available to
provide a complete backtrace.  If there is a debug package available
that will help me complete this backtrace, please let me know what it is
so I can install it.

Thanks!

Here's the initial text of the bug I filed:

Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'll first start by saying I have a useless backtrace.  I'm not sure
what Ubuntu packages to install so I can get a good backtrace on this.

Here's what happens.

1. When I first startup then login, if I start VMware workstation, the
bridged networking doesn't work.

2. I then stop/start the vmware-networks (sudo vmware-networks --stop
... --start).

3. Plasma Workspace crashes at the stop and the start.  It recovers
though.  Obviously, it would be better if it didn't crash.  :D

So, first, what packages can I install to help get good information on
this?  I can reproduce this at will.  All I need is a valid backtrace.

x86_64 packages.
VMware Workstation 6.5.2-156736 (deb built from an rpm)
