<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">DBus slots all happen in the main thread's event loop, which means we must have finished all this function before that.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The only way this could change the behaviour is if something in new DesktopView() is calling creating a new event loop or calling qApp->processEvents()</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">do you still have the entire trace?</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Your QML code is creating an activities model which calls this rather questionable segment of code.
It's possible Kicker is too.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">You can push your change if you want a quick fix, it won't do any harm, but the real fix will be replacing this method. </p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Blocking DBus calls should be made with the normal sensible blocking DBus API (or not done at all) not doing this processing all sorts of things out of whack.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I hit this crash when creating recent media backend for pmc. First backendsmodel is initalized which in turn loads the recentmedia backend and hence creates the activity consumer first. Afterwards when signal is connected it calls currentActivityChanged slot and fails to set containment on null view.</p></pre>
