I started experiencing the same issue in Ubuntu 13.04 after apt-get update/upgrade.
$ kdevelop --version Qt: 4.8.4 KDE Development Platform: 4.10.4 KDevelop: 4.4.1 $ uname -a Linux bert 3.8.0-25-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 6 20:47:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The splash screen appears, then the main program window displays for a fraction of a second before disappearing. In case it's useful: running with sudo works, though I don't like running it as root. Please provide a workaround if possible. I am really missing kdevelop today.
