Sentry Crash Report:

Description stakanov.s 2015-04-02 19:58:47 UTC 
Application: plasma-desktop (4.11.17)
KDE Platform Version: 4.14.6
Qt Version: 4.8.6
Operating System: Linux 3.16.7-7-desktop x86_64
Distribution: "openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64)"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
starting  up plasma causes plasma to crash. If an application (e.g. kmail) is started up during login this will cause the desktop to crash. I did activate public transport helper the session befor. 
- Unusual behavior I noticed:

screen goes black. Logout is still possible. Cursor is visible and moves normally. Any other desktop interaction is impossible. menues do not work. Logout with control plus alt plus del and then you select endsession.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Shell del desktop di Plasma (plasma-desktop), signal: Segmentation fault
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Comment 1 stakanov.s 2015-04-02 22:27:40 UTC 
I found by trial and error the reason of this bug. 
Milou plasmoid is, when activating it in the system-tray reliably capable of crashing plasma. It is possible to get to a working session if milou is un-installed. 

It is possible that this is triggered when another instance of milou is running on the desktop.  When running it standalone on the desktop it seams to be stable.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug has already been resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
