I ran launchy from konsole, typed Ctrl+Space and then proceed to type "steam". It crashed as I was hitting 't': $ launchy Loading settings in installed mode from /home/richard QKeySequence("Ctrl+Space") true Searching catalog for "s" Setting output text to "spl" KGlobal::locale() must be called from the main thread before using i18n() in threads. KApplication takes care of this. If not using KApplication, call KGlobal::locale() during initialization.

Sorry, I have no idea how to reproduce this (typing steam brings up steam here) and the backtrace doesn't look too useful either (launchy is missing there, no debugging symbols?). Have you contacted upstream about this?
