The only downside is some backtrace might be lost. But I don't think that is a big deal. Crashes during shutdown are rare cases nowadays(I hope I'm right), and users noticing those crashes only hours later are
the rare case in rare cases (but very annoying).

I regularly get them, most times something Kontact related. What about just saving the backtrace to disk? Next step could be on next startup to
check if there are automatically saved backtraces and ask if to
drop/save/report them.

Just to make it clear, when I say "some backtrace might be lost" I
mean under the cases that bug 126073 complains: "Users think their
systems will shutdown as expected but hours later find it hasn't
because startkde waits for Dr.Konqi forever". The proposed change will
not stand in the way of users who already notice the crash at the
first place and want to save/report the backtrace.

Saving backtrace to disk is of course good, but unfortunately
Dr.Konqi doesn't seem to have a dbus call for that operation at the
monent. As for "Next step", see the comment from George Kiagiadakis.
That is not an easy task and might take a long time to implement or
never.

Add one. ;)

On the other hand, bug 126073 is a big annoyance to anyone who has
ran across it. And it has been there and annoying users for a long
time. Comparing the big benefit and small lost of the proposed change, I think that "Some backtraces might be lost" is really not a big deal.

Agreed. But please set the timeout to something like 5 minutes. When I want to shutdown I want to shutdown, maybe because my batteries are nearly empty. Waiting for an hour ist far too long IMHO.
