--- Comment #4 from Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens at rwth-aachen.de> ---
Ctrl-Alt-ESC is *not* a "shortcut to close", it is the shortcut to invoke
xkill, or equivalent to forcefully terminate a hanging application.

Crashing is bad anyway, and saving more often is just a really ugly workaround.

Writing to disk recurrently is not a solution, it is against KDE ECO goals, and
it introduces blocking synchronization points over the whole desktop (state
saving requires flushing to disk and synchronization). This may be less notable
with SSDs, but becomes an issue when you use HDD, eMMC or SD card for storage.

Proper solutions:
1. Educate people xkill etc. is not closing. Adjust the shown text to mention
"All changes will be lost". This is not only about dolphin, but all
applications.
2. Fix dolphin so it does not crash.
