plasmashell shouldn't crash

we need at least a backtrace to help with a crash to see what's wrong or a reproducable way to generate a crash ourselves https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Unfortunately generating a useful backtrace is not much of an option since the Arch packages don't have debug symbols and compiling Plasma from source is not really an option for me, however I will try to find a reproducible way to generate this crash
