I think this bug has EVERYTHING to do with kget beeing unable to read it's old config file. Had the same crash after upgrading to KDE 3.3.0, and I had to remove ~/.kde/share/config/kgetrc to make kget start.
And by the way, I get these errors too, and my kget is working now : QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::destroyed() to QTipManager::clientWidgetDestroyed() QObject::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::destroyed() to QTipManager::clientWidgetDestroyed() Guillaume Pratte
