Description Jaak Ristioja 2013-01-04 20:24:49 UTC 
Application: plasma-desktop (0.4)
KDE Platform Version: 4.9.4 (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 4.8.4
Operating System: Linux 3.6.8-hardened-arm x86_64
Distribution: "Gentoo Base System release 2.1"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

I was messing with setting up my network connections and I had to SIGKILL NetworkManager because it wouldn't close using the /etc/init.d/NetworkManager script.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Plasma Desktop Shell (kdeinit4), signal: Segmentation fault
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Comment 1 Lamarque V. Souza 2013-01-04 21:02:53 UTC 
When you kill NetworkManager using -9 parameter you do not give NetworkManager time to signal other programs that it is quiting. That is not the normal way of closing NetworkManager, so we do not need to support that.
Comment 2 Jaak Ristioja 2013-01-04 21:25:44 UTC 
NetworkManager might also crash which would result in the same behaviour (crash of Plasma desktop). I and many others consider it bad quality if software doesn't handle such cases properly. Either way,  THIS  IS  STILL  A  BUG  unless you can prove that
    1) NetworkManager will never crash, or
    2) if it would, Plasma wouldn't crash, or
    3) Plasma handles cases where NetworkManager terminates with SIGSEGV, SIGABRT or similar, but not SIGKILL and the like, and
    4) none of the items above will be a problem in the future.

"We don't support cases where processes we communicate with crash." is not an excuse! Good programmers DO CONSIDER such cases. I suggest You be one of them! But of course, who am I to force KDE devs to write quality software... :-(
