I have the same problem, with a fresh checkout...

After looking a bit around in the code, i found out that the folderview applet seems to be the cause for this - maybe because it got moved to kdebase-apps recently - but i am not a pro regarding this :)

I created a small patch to disable the folderview plasmoid to be loaded by default and it works now for me... I`ll attach the patch to my next comment, so you can see how i "prevented" the crash...

HTH
