KAuth and KF5

[Luca Beltrame]

Hello,

currently, the KF5 version of KAuth is not quite usable as any helper used 
by KAuth segfaults: the most notable is backlighthelper, which always 
crashes at login.

According to some investigations made by a fellow openSUSE Community KDE 
member, it crashes somewhere in Qt, in dbusInterfaceString().
I've tried myself to get a backtrace but gdb offers no stack

Given that the release is so close by and that KAuth is used by a lot of 
pieces in the upcoming workspace release:

1. How can this be debugged further?
2. Has anyone been able to reproduce this?
3. Is this something different entirely?

Basically this makes KAuth non-functional.

I'm hoping this is only a local issue, though, ;)
