I can not confirm. On my two systems (32 bit and 64 bit) everything works.

A return code of 139 means that a process that was executed crashed with 
signal 11, segmentation fault. This would be /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4. This 
program doesn't really do anything that should be able to crash, but 
apparently it does.

Which version of qt do you have there?

Do you get anything in $HOME/.xsession-errors when this happens?

Can you run /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4 from the command line? Does it crash 
then?

If it does, can you strace it, with

strace -f -o kde.strace /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4

and put the file kde.strace somewhere downloadable?
