    Plasma Shell, Segmentation fault on start-up

    I am using KUBUNTU 12.04 LTS. ((I am very pleased with my first foray into the KDE/Ubuntu combo.))

    More often than is comfortable for me, I am receiving a critical error message when my desktop boots of a "Segmentation fault (11)" with plasma-desktop.

    Normally this just means an extra long start-up. Occasionally I must re-boot.

    This problem does not occur with the netbook variant on my other computer. ((I have installed this version of Kubuntu on four computers so far.))

    I have a vague suspicion that this may have to do with maintaining a rather old /home folder rolling through various UBUNTU releases that has irrelevant saved settings floating around in there. The same happens rarely with my wife's work computer that has a similar setup and home folder history.

    I have been searching around cyberspace for a solution to no avail, though some have stated that segmentation faults are a scary bad thing.
