Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

If Redshift is running, starting R'n'D results in R'n'D crashing. I think it has something to do with a program called Redshift and/or KDE's Night Light. Because if I exit Redshift (?and/or wait long enough?) R'n'D goes back to working. (?TODO: better test this out?)

To hopefully help with debugging I ran R'n'D with something like

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/gdb --args "${RnDBasePath}${RnDVer}/rocksndiamonds" "--debug"
and pasted crash statements results from gdb and KWin Crash Handler in the attachment.

If the attachment happens to have something that shouldn't be on the Internet (like private personal data passwords, etc...) feel free to delete it, or ask me to remove it if I can.
