Description Lucia Mrenica 2018-11-03 17:29:16 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure powerdevil is not running, like after a crash
2. run in konsole 'kstart5 /usr/lib/org_kde_powerdevil'

OBSERVED RESULT
Kstart5 crashes 
Starting powerdevil without kstart5 works.
Is powerdevil supposed to start like this - with kstart5?
This bug might be caused by powerdevil and not by kstart5

EXPECTED RESULT
Kstart5 starts powerdevil

Doesn't crash here, but running this application manually isn't a workflow we support, that's why it's in libexec and not /usr/bin, after all.

I know people normally dont start powerdevil manually, I tried it only because powerdevil crashed so I wanted to start it somehow and then I noticed this.
