The reason for the crash is the worldclock plasmoid which somehow tries to
access an invalid image pixel (y=-1). There doesn't seem to be any range
checking happening before accessing the lookup table, therefore a segmentation
fault occurs.

Removing plasma config files is a possible workaround because in the standard
configuration there is no worldclock plasmoid. Once you'd add it again, plasma
will (likely) crash again.

Given the number of bugs reported against the plasmoid and it being without a
maintainer for quite some time now I wonder if we should disable it for the 4.6
release.
