REVISION SUMMARY
  This patch addresses a minor detail that has been irking me for a while now: the message that DrKonqi couldn't be started after the user closed that very application without filing a report.
  
  The warning message is wrong, for evident reasons, but I think there is also no need to re-raise the signal for core-dump processing in this case. After all, the user has had all the opportunity to investigate the backtrace or even connect a debugger "manually" to the crashed process.

TEST PLAN
  start any KF5 application and send it signal like SIGSEGV. Close DrKonqi after it appeared.
  
  - without the patch: KCrash claims it was unable to start DrKonqi and re-raises the signal
  - with the patch: no such claim, and no core-dump (or expensive apport processing on Ubuntu)
