I think this bug has something to do with the Battery widget. With the Battery widget loaded in the System Tray, quitting plasma-desktop like so:

$ kquitapp plasma-desktop

would make plasma-desktop crash. Attached is the backtrace (I currently don't have the debug packages installed).
Even though the debug information is missing, one can guess that plasma_applet_battery.so may have something to do with the crash.

To test this hypothesis, I removed all instances of the Battery widget and terminated plasma-desktop like before. plasma-desktop terminated cleanly, without any segfaults.

I also tried several other tests, placing the Battery widget in the System Tray, Panel, and on the "desktop" itself. In all tests, plasma-desktop crashed when terminated.

Can anybody else confirm my findings?
