Public bug reported: Installing plasma-widget-redshift causes the Plasma Desktop to crash with segfault 11 after restarting the computer.
The widget will work as expected if you run /usr/bin/redshiftautostart immediately after installation: the icon appears in the system tray and Redshift adjustments work properly. But then if you reboot the system, log on, and wait for the desktop to start, Plasma crashes. The wallpaper and the panel disappear, leaving a black screen. KRunner still works, so it's possible to at least do some stuff, including uninstalling the widget. I tried moving RedshiftAutostart.desktop out of /usr/share/autostart. This did not help -- the crash still occurs. If necessary, I can copy-paste the output of the debug window, although without the symbols that's probably not too useful. I'm wondering if there's possibly something malformed in one of the services/.operations or services/.desktop files, perhaps? Note that this problem occurs both in the package included in the Trusty repository and in a binary compiled from source downloaded via Git. FWIW, there was no problem at all using this widget in Saucy.
