after a crash plasma is restarted with the --nocrashhandler option. This behaviour is really annoying during "find the crash sessions" and it prevents to report backtraces after the first crash.

of course it starts without the crash handler. otherwise you'd end up with infinite restarting plasma in the case of a crash on startup.

so what happens is that every start due to a crash is started without the crash handler and then some time later the crash handler is installed.

So after a minute or so, Plasma will load the crash-handler?

I don't quite understand how enabling the crash handler could make plasma continue to crash infinitely. My general idea is that it's just an analyzer / reporting tool that gets triggered.
