Description Elias Probst 2014-09-16 15:52:48 UTC 
Using KF5-based ksnapshot (fa3226be) built using Qt 5.4.0 alpha.
All KF5 components are up-to-date from git.

Send to → GIMP shows the dialog box "The URL\n is malformed" and after dismissing this message, it spawns infinite numbers of kioexec instances:
/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kioexec gimp-2.8 /home/elias/snapshot_J26426.png

The error message is (according to xprop) shown by kioexec.

I had 75 kioexec instances within 25 seconds.
By closing ksnapshot, all of them were terminated.
Comment 1 Elias Probst 2014-09-16 15:56:50 UTC 
Hmm, looks like this is more a kioexec issue than ksnapshot.
Running manually
/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kioexec gimp-2.8 /home/elias/snapshot_J26426.png
results in the same situation as described above.

The output of kioexec doesn't tell really much about what's going on, just repeating endlessly these lines:
command= "gimp-2.8"
kuiserver found
Icon theme "oxygen" not found.
Icon theme "oxygen" not found.
All files downloaded, will call slotRunApp shortly

Re-assigning to frameworks-kio…

The provided RR fixes the issue for me, but I need someone with more domain specific knowledge to give the patch a "ship it" or "improve it".
