Yep, I'm one of the attica and knewstuff maintainers and got the plugin to load recently, then hit this crash on close, so trying to fix it. The code in the plugin is only built with the plugin, so shouldn't be used besides as a plugin.

The conditional reparent probably works too, but as Albert said it's just a more complicated way of doing the same thing.
