Running under gdb doesn't seem to catch the SEGV, perhaps because plasma
forks and detaches from the parent process and/or kcrash is catching the
signal?

(gdb) run
[ lines omitted ]
plasma(30010) NetworkManagerApplet::showVpn: SHOWING                            
KCrash: Application 'plasma' crashing...

Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not

I'll see if I can coerce gdb into attaching to the forked processes.
