Bug Description

Binary package hint: dolphin

When I open Dolphin from Konsole it prints out:
ASSERT: "(*it).isValid()" in file /build/buildd/kde4libs-4.1.2/kio/kio/previewjob.cpp, line 565
<unknown program name>(8787)/: Communication problem with "dolphin" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

After that message is displayed, it exits back to command line.
apt-cache policy says I'm using dolphin version 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1

Have experienced the same problem throughout entire Intrepid development cycle. This includes a bare-metal reinstall when the beta was released.

Will try the workaround suggested by vvlist on 2008-10-02. Will file a further comment if it does *_not_* work.
