Hi,

MySQL 5.5.8-4 (in koji) solves the issue for the mysqltest_embedded program. 
Amarok doesn't crash either, but it still won't start. This is because MySQL 
(embedded) can't find amarok's my.cnf defaults file.

In .xsesson-errors I see:

"mysql_embedded: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist
InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins
InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.5
110113  9:35:15  InnoDB: Using Linux native AIO
110113  9:35:15  InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 128.0M
110113  9:35:15  InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool
110113  9:35:15  InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation.
InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to
InnoDB: the directory.
InnoDB: File name /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation."

This message means that mysql is using the wrong my.cnf config file 
(/etc/my.cnf). This issue can be workarounded (solved?) by copying 
./kde/share/apps/amarok/my.cnf to ~/.my.cnf.

Is this satisfactory or still a bug?
