qt_plugins_3.3rc

[Scott A Phipps]

Does anybody know what creates the .qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc file in a users
home directory? I have a couple of machines I've loaded with core 4 and
that file is not in a users home directory when they log into gnome. On
a machine that has an everything install, the file is there. This is
causing me strange problems with qt apps crashing until that file is
generated.

Thanks

Scott

qt-config and/or (possibly) simply running any qt/kde application.

The mere existence (or not) of that file shouldn't be causing crashes. 
Could you post more details about what you're seeing?  You may also want 
to submit crash bug reports to fedora/redhat at:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/

The app that crashes is the cvs version of Scribus. I have been trying
to determine for the better part of a week why I can compile it and it
will run fine on most computers, but when I do so on those computers it
crashes. I finally found that the .qt/qt_plugins rc file was missing on
startup on those systems and that when that file is not present and
scribus is run, then it dies with sig 11 and or kills metacity off
continually. The systems that have a full install of fedora will have
the qt plugins rc file when a new user logs in for the first time, but
the systems with leaner installs will not have it. I'm looking into
things on the scribus side, but was wondering why the rc file is there
on some machines, but not others. It would be a real pain to have to log
in each user on those systems and run qtconfig.

Thanks,

Scott
