Could you provide the backtrace ?
Comment 2 Ľubomír Kučera 2013-07-03 19:05:46 UTC 
I am sorry but I cannot. There is no dialog after crash.
Comment 3 Jekyll Wu 2013-07-05 01:51:07 UTC 
well, try this in konsole :

$ kquitapp plasma-desktop
$ sleep 5
$ gdb `which plasma-desktop`
gdb > set args --nofork
gdb > run
..... make plasma crash ...
gdb > bt

Here it is.

yes, it is . Too bad, Archlinux doesn't provide debug symbols so the backtrace is barely useful.
Comment 7 Ann 2013-09-24 21:30:50 UTC 
It's been a while since this report, but I can also confirm it.

I'm using Arch Linux with KDE 4.11.1-2. I don't really know since when I have this issue, because just until recently I had the icon from more than a year ago in the panel. But for a long time the icon  in the panel looked bad (it was more up than centered, if you understand - it looked normal when I changed the plasma theme, but until next reboot), so I decided to remove it and place it again, and discovered that it crashed the plasma desktop. It's as the OP describes it.

If I place it in the desktop, it's fine, but it crashes when I try to place it in the panel.
Comment 8 Ann 2013-09-24 21:38:11 UTC 
Possible workaround: Place the widget in the desktop, and move it until you reach the panel, it will place it there automatically without crashing.

add pager widget crash

I'm encountering this on KDE 4.11.2, also in Arch Linux. I was able to rebuild plasma-desktop and qt4 with debugging and get this backtrace.
