Description Erik Quaeghebeur 2017-01-11 10:55:54 UTC 
When launching applications through krunner, they become sub-processes of krunner. When krunner encounters a bug that makes it necessary to kill it, also these applications are killed.

I think it would be better if the applications are launched in their own process, separately from krunner.

I can confirm. I think I've seen the same also with Kickoff, at least my Qt Creator sometimes just disappears when I quit plasmashell.

CC'ing David Faure.

Happens with both the service runner (that lists applications) which does KRun::runService(*service) as well as with the shell runner which does KRun::runCommand

This is fixed with the port to KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob and KIO::CommandLauncherJob in https://phabricator.kde.org/D28347.
