given testing done (discussed with reporter on irc) this looks like an uncaught
exception from kdepimlibs, likely libakonadi. there are no exceptions in plasma
code, the 3rd party add-on being used does not throw exceptions either and
where it is segfaulting is due to an uncaught signal in an event handler. to
quote qcoreapplication.cpp:

        qWarning("Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler.
Throwing\n"
                 "exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You
must\n"
                 "reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions
there.\n");

exceptions should not be bubbling out of the library. kde apps do not generally
catch exceptions, so this will cause issues for any such app that would wish to
use this library.
