I have the same problem since today (October 29, 2015). Konsole crashes on Debian testing. I couldn't even get drkonqi to work, so I don't get a nice stack trace as Paolo.
See here for more info: https://bugs.debian.org/802811 I can confirm that it's not only konsole that is affected, but also kate and other KDE apps, according to other users. The workaround of downgrading libqt5x11extras5 to 5.4.2-2+b1 works for me.
You are right. I updated the system (in my case Debian Testing) to the last version and now everything works. Closed.
I can confirm that it is now safe to upgrade libqt5x11extras5 to the latest version in testing. The necessary upgrades to the QT libraries have been migrated to testing now, and everything seems to work.
