I don't have any stuff from kde-runtime/frameworks currently, so the
only kglobalaccel binary I have is from KDE 4.

I have since been able to reproduce the issue manually by restarting
kglobalaccel and manually launching plasma-shell (which apparently puts
itself into xdg autostart?) which immediately crashes:
