Okay, nice. "1" is the value for "Sleep". What it looks like to me is that your
system does not actually support the Sleep action (as in
PowerManagement::canSuspend()), so it's missing from the list of combo box
actions but the UI still tries to find and set it. One instance I could see
this happening is if one copies an existing laptop Arch installation (with that
setting already set) to a new drive that powers e.g. a PC without "Sleep"
functionality. Or maybe "Sleep" was the default a long time ago and written to
the config file before we used KConfigXT even for global settings (i.e. before
my time here).
Either way, we should probably do something more graceful with unsupported
power actions than just crash. Although I'm not quite sure how to deal with
that in the UI.
For anyone to reproduce a crash like this, one can add this to their
~/.config/powerdevilrc:
[BatteryManagement]
BatteryCriticalAction=16
which is an action that generally exists (PromptLogoutDialog) but does not
exist in the option list for the critical battery action combobox.
