Hm, on the face of it, this patch doesn't really make sense ... launcher items don't have an associated task, so the function should already return early and the extra condition should be redundant. Unless there's a race condition in the library somewhere ... but then it still wouldn't crash on translating a QPoint.

Thank you for the patch, but I really still have to find a way to reproduce this bug before just applying this blindly - it might be treating a symptom instead of addressing the root cause.
