This crash is happening in Qt during a QString assignment. Do you use any exotic optimization flags when compiling Qt ?

No one else has reported this type crash before and I most definitely cannot reproduce this. The only things left for you to check is 1.) Create a new user and see if starting Konqueror crashes for that user too. 2.) If #1 happens, run "locate searchplugin.so" from the command line and see if there is more than one of that library installed on your system.
There is no "searchplugin.so" on my system. kde-base/konq-plugins-4.7.4 which is the gentoo package responsible for konqueror's plugins owns /usr/lib64/kde4/searchbarplugin.so. Dawit, I know konqueror works if a delete .kde4 and .local, I had to do that to fix an ssl bug somewhere in the KDE-PIM suite. That amount of data loss is really bad though because I have bookmarks and passwords stored in the old .kde4 and .local folders dating from KDE 4.2 or 4.1. Which leads me to believe the problem is a file format change between 4.2 and late 4.6 or early 4.7, when Konqueror first started segfaulting on me.

Created attachment 67620 [details] backtrace of konqueror exploding after I restored the old .kde4 and .local dirs I moved my old copies of the known bad .kde4 and .local directories to another user on my machine and the back trace looks very similar to the back trace posted when I filled this bug.

I was not suggesting for you to delete your entire .kde4 directory. I was trying to determine whether or not that gets rid of the bug. That way we can tell whether or not this is crash was configuration related because it makes no sense. The crash is inside of QString. Anyhow, I suggest your first remove the [SearchBar] section from ~/.kde4/share/config/konquerorrc. You can copy that somewhere else first if you want to preserve it. In case that was the source of the crash. If that does not solve the issue, you can disable the searchbarplugin completely by adding the following line to your ~/.kde4/share/config/konquerorrc: [KParts Plugins] searchbarEnabled=false Make sure first close all instances of Konqueror before you attempt any of the suggestions I listed above.

That does not make sense because the same parser, KConfig, is used to read all KDE configurations. Moreover the backtrace shows the crash is caused by the code that reads the "CurrentEngine" entry, but I see no crash as a result of it and so far you are the only one to report such a crash. Additionally, you said that removing your .kde directory resolves the problem. To me all that points to something else being the actual culprit for this crash, but the crash occurring at this point. Anyhow, I am going to make one change to eliminate the one line code that reads the "CurrentEngine" entry from the equation. I doubt it solves the crash, but at least I would know that the issue is really somewhere else. The change might not make it into 4.8.0, but it should be in 4.8.1.
Copying just the bad konquererrc file from my backup of the bad .kde4 directory into a known good .kde4 directory results in konqueror working correctly. Any other files that I need to check the contents of? Gentoo does not have QT-4.8.0 available to build from yet in the normal tree, would your patch work agains QT-4.7.4? I think I can add an extra patch to the Gentoo QT-4.7.4 ebuild locally on my system and rebuild, if you want to test it out? It may take a day or two for me to do it because school just restarted though.
