[Bug 408719] Re: vlc crashed with SIGSEGV in QMetaObject::activate()

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

KIO is brought in by the KDE open file dialog through the Qt4 open file
dialog. This can trivially be reproduced: start VLC, go to Media / Open
File, cancel, exit.

This only occurs if KDE overrides the Qt open file dialog. Then the KIO
scheduler registers an exit handler which crashes at exit.

Since this is not VLC specific, and VLC has no way to prevent (or even
know) that KDE will register an exit handler, this is a kdelibs bug.
