Why that? It should be easy to implement a good debugging mechanism into the
handler...let me think about that.

Since it is possible to pass functions as argument to another function, the
base class (maybe KApplication) could be extended to have a function named
"setCrashHandler" or such, it takes a function as argument which does the
emergency save. If that function crashes,too, it's really to late, but it is
worth a try.
