I just tested it on my laptop with KDE 3.5.3 and amaroK 1.4.0 and I'm still getting the same problem. The key to reproducing the bug is to add music to your music database in amarok, not just opening the program itself. I'm guessing that it has to be a fair amount of music as well, greater than or equal to 1 gig sounds like a reasonable amount.
