-Subject: [PATCH] kio_help: Fix crash in QCoreApplication when accessing
- help://.
-
-A recent commit d428fc8e6447ede81f1e1911d0b66b39265672f3 removed old
-custom crash handling code in favor of KCrash. But this actually adds a
-dependency on there being a valid QCoreApplication object.
-
-I took from the example of the similar kio_file to simply create the
-QCoreApplication here.
