I have been going around in circles with the KDE developers regarding
this problem.

We have confirmed that this problem is NOT a bug in KDE 4.1, it's a bug
in Strigi. The problem is that Ubuntu hasn't packaged the version of
Strigi that was made to be used with KDE 4.1, instead, the version of
Strigi that is included isn't compatible with KDE 4.1.

The Ubuntu developers should upgrade to Strigi 0.5.11 right away. d

The bug report, which all developers should read is here:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164296

Here are some quotes from that bug report from the KDE developers:
---
"You can update up to KDE 4.5 (exagerating), but it won't change the situation.
The bug was in strigi, so what you need to upgrade is *strigi*, at least the 
version 0.5.11."
---
"Disabling Strigi indexing won't prevent KDE from using libstreams and 
libstreamanalyser (which are parts of Strigi).

Once again, this bug was fixed in Strigi. If you still experience it, report it 
to your distribution. That only means they didn't include the patches in Strigi 
0.5.9 or that Strigi wasn't updated to 0.5.11."
---
"Dolphin uses libstreamanalyzer to get metadata out of files. libstreamanalyzer 
is part of strigi. Version 0.5.9 of strigi has a bug that causes a crash when 
analyzing some avi files. This is fixed in 0.5.11 which was released to be used 
with KDE 4.1.

A workaround is to delete strigita_avi.so if you have a strigi version older 
than 0.5.11."

I am urging whomever is in charge of Strigi to upgrade it in Ubuntu 8.04
(or any affected system).
