stacktrace during crash
Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2023-05-23 19:14:04 UTC 
Looks like it is trying to display this error message:
https://invent.kde.org/education/kig/-/blob/f80b6d91f6f9c00f35ac9fef648209a9b87077f9/kig/kig.cpp#L63
KMessageBox::error(this, i18n("Could not find the necessary Kig library, check your installation."));

So it is missing the KigPart. That also causes it to crash while attempting to display the error message, because displaying a dialog processes pending events and there is a pending event that wants to save settings including the KigPart ones.
Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2023-05-23 19:20:29 UTC 
Looks like we need this backported:

<SARCASM>Don't you love it when somebody upstream with global write privileges commits untested changes that completely break an application and takes 3 months to notice and fix it?</SARCASM>
Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2023-05-23 19:21:20 UTC 
(Heck, it was not even fixed by the person who broke it.)
Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2023-05-23 22:09:34 UTC 
Fixed in Rawhide in kig-23.04.1-2.fc39. Since the buggy Kig was also backported to Fedora 38, I am building a Fedora 38 update as well.
