This can only happen on Qt 5.5 which introduced the possibility to have nullptr QScreen. I was not actively switching screens when this happened. plasmashell crashed for some reason, I switched to physical console, restarted it, switched back to X11, pressed either Win+Tab which I use to get an interactive desktop switcher or Alt-Tab. This ended up with KWin crashing within plasma-framework code: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I consider this behavior change in Qt quite unacceptable.. anyways, screens should be checked for null everywhere now I guess..
Well, Qt >= 5.0 && Qt < 5.5 would just crash a long time before an application got an opportunity to do so, so it's certainly a progress :). The upstream's rationale for returning null QScreens is at http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2015-March/020614.html ; you should probably talk to them now if they screwed up. I have no idea what's a correct thing and what ain't. Feel free to Cc me on patches which look like they could fix these problems (or anything 5.5-related). I run Qt from 5.5 git now, so I'll be happy to report what is broken and what got fixed.
