No, Krusader does not need the KDE window manager to run on your computer

You do not need to switch to the TDE window manager to use Krusader; you

To summarize, if you want a working Krusader - install KDElibs. If you want

Usually binary packages that are been used by your distribution do not
|
|
|
|
|
contain debug information. Since we usually only develop and fix Krusader-
|
|
|
|
|
cvs, compile Krusader-cvs in debugmode and install it, than check if the
|
|
|
|
|
bug still exist.
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --enable-debug=full
|
|
|
|
|
If the KDEKrashhandler still doesn't provide usefull backtrace information,
|
|
|
|
|
If the TDEKrashhandler still doesn't provide usefull backtrace information,
|
|
|
|
|
than sometimes a coredump will give better information. Run Krusader, with
|
|
|
|
|
disabled crashhandler.
|
|
|
|
|
$ krusader --nocrashhandler
