Calamares bugs, may be related to KDE

Hi,

I have just downloaded the openmamba ISO for the first time (never used this OS before now) and I booted the live ISO in a virtual machine (run using VirtualBox 5.0.2), the booting happened with issue, but when I ran the installer, Calamares, I noticed several bugs. For one, when I tried to select my language there was a graphical bug that meant that where the Calamares window and the language drop-down menu intersected the menu was made invisible (see this screenshot, for example). Secondly and most significantly, when I got to the stage of pressing “Install Now” in the popup window (see this screenshot, if you are unsure about what I mean), Calamares crashed. Now, so that I can provide you’s with detailed debugging information, I ran sudo calamares from Konsole and it gave the following output:

Now the reason why I said “may be related to KDE” in the title is that I know that Calamares also has issues (not quite the same, but still related to graphics) in Sabayon KDE edition, see this post on the Sabayon forums for details.
