Another interesting thought could be enabling this by default for all applications but for regular applications trigger a desktop notification (with report bug / restart app) together with the tray icon.</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This can be useful for auto-restarting shell services (like plasmashell, krunner, kded) to improve the perceived quality of the product.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">On Windows RT, for example, the guidelines even explicitly say "rather just dump the user on the home screen than telling him something went wrong, so he can just quickly start the app again instead of being annoyed by an error message". On iOS you also just get dropped on the home screen. Windows desktop shows a "Searching for a solution" dialog which was <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">the</em> major annoyance when something crashed, rather than the actual crash.</p>

Afterwards I got a SNI which opened DrKonqi when tapped.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The SNI disappears after 1 minute because if you didn't bother to look after it by then, you probably forgot what you did to cause the crash anyway :)</p></pre>
