launcher items don&#39;t have an associated task, so the function should already \

Thank you for the patch, but I really still have to find a way to reproduce this bug \
before just applying this blindly - it might be treating a symptom instead of \
addressing the root cause.</pre>  </blockquote>

Simple steps to reproduce this crash.

1) Pin any task/application to taskbar using &quot;show launcher when not \
running&quot; option. 2) Close application.
3) Desktop crashes.

Reason :

1) In Tasks::itemGeometryChanged(int,int,int,int,int) line 300 it checks for three \
conditions, 

  -&gt; pointer to task is not null
  -&gt; taskItem itself is not null
  -&gt; scene is not null

2) This condition gets false when item is LauncherItem. In function later line 334 \
when calling iconRect.moveTopLeft(QPoint) function it gets crashed.

Patch :

This patch adds check in if condition to check if taskItem is \
TaskManager::LauncherItemType and return from function if this is launcher \
item.</pre>  </td>
