That would be wrong, but I am unable/unwilling to get involved any further.

KCrash in its simplest form fields a Unix signal, does some checks and cleanups,
then forks DrKonqi.  The preferred form is to send a message to kdeinit, which
then gets DrKonqi launched independently and without a possible corrupted
stack or heap from the crashed app.  The second form does not work in OS X.
