--- Comment #1 from Jekyll Wu <adaptee at gmail.com> ---
Sorry, DrKonqi can't do much  here. Let me illustrate what actually happens in
the given plasma-deskotp example :

1). plasma-desktop runs
2). plasma-desktop crashes for the first time.
3). Dr.Konqi shows up due to that crash. In the mean time, plasma-desktop
restart itself automatically, but this time with the '--nocrashhandler'
argument, meaning that it (plasma-desktop) won't  tell Dr.Konqi to show up next
time it crashes.
4). plasma-deskotp crashes, again. Dr.Konqi do not show up, due to the
'--nocrashhandler' argument given to plasma-desktop.
5). plasma-desktop crashes again, restart itself again with '--nocrashhandler'
argument. Dr.Konqi do not show up.
6). repeat step 5) again and again.


So Dr.Konqi will only appear once after the first crash. There is no (easy) way
for Dr.Konqi to know what happens to plasma-dekstop later: does it keep
crashing ,or does it run smoothly after restarting itself? How does Dr.Konqi
know whether plasmsa-desktop is crashing like crazy and it should show the
'logout/restart/shutdown' button, or the opposite ?

Also, please keep in mind Dr.Konqi is for serving all KDE applications running
in any desktop environment, not only for KDE applications (not to mention this
particular plasma-desktop) running in the KDE workspace session. 

Finally, if plasma-deksotp crashes like crazy, do not panic. ksmsever is still
running, so you can just press 'Ctrl+alt+del' as usual to show up the familiar
logout/shutdown/reboot dialog.
