Stopping the KDE Crash Handler

[bdjnk]

I have been running Linux for about six years now, and I have only once found the KDE Crash Handler to be useful. All of the other hundreds of times it has popped up, usually when closing an application anyway, it has been pointless. Luckily it can be stopped very simply.

All you need to do is set the Environment Variable KDE_DEBUG to 0. This is done by adding the line "export KDE_DEBUG=0" to file /etc/kde/env/env.sh.

You will need root access to edit it, or to create it if it is missing as it was on my system. And you will need to restart X for it to take effect.
