 That is actually not necessary with KDE4.3. There is a time between the crash 
and the time the backtrace is analyzed, at which point it is sufficient to 
install the needed debuginfo packages, and there is even a button for 
recreating the backtrace if it turns out more debuginfo packages are needed.

 I expected there would be also support for automatically getting the needed 
debuginfo packages installed using zypper, but that hasn't made it in KDE4.3.
