To reproduce this bug at will, edit the konsole file in ~/.kde/share/config/sessions/ (The file name is dynamic, so it will be different for everyone.)

Inside the file, delete all config sections dedicated to sessions. Also, delete the "Sessions=" key in the [1] group, as well as the "NumberOfSessions=" key in the [Numbers] group.

Once this is done, and this is important, you must kill your KDE session in way that KDE will not be able to save the session. I'd suggest either init 0-ing or doing this as a separate user, then killing that user's Xorg.

While it is true that my method of reproducing this crash is quite involved, it is replicating the situation that appeared on upgrades to KDE 4.3, as well as situations that are still arising in KDE 4.4 when the session data becomes corrupt.
