since plasma is still crashing and untill the brave devs will, as I am positively certain of, fix and improve everything to the best quality possible on planet earth, I would really need for now the crash handling function to be enabled.. thanks

Hm then tell us what needs to be changed where :]
Comment 2 renato gallo 2009-03-05 15:41:25 UTC
If I knew I would attach a patch I just would like plasma to start without the   nocrashhandler option.

we'd like some feedback here, it seems fixed for 4.4.2, I couldn't crash my plasma but i tried to kill it.
Comment 6 Maciej Mrozowski gentoo-dev 2010-04-09 14:34:49 UTC
Plasma will most likely fallback to --nocrashhandler anyway when it detects that it has just crashed and automatically starts new 'failsafe' instance - this new instance will most likely have crash handler disabled.

Is this the case here? Or it's the first instance (the one run at startup) starts with crash handler disabled?
Comment 7 renato gallo 2010-04-09 18:06:22 UTC
at that time no instance had crash handler enabled and it could be nice to have it by default into the startup script

No clue. Resolving it since it seems to work properly here. 

Feel free to reopen if you see the same behaviour on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 ...
