I've taken a quick look at this, and the problem appears to be in the 
following loop at themedmenu.cpp, line 1946.

    for (unsigned int pos = 0; pos < lastbutton->action.count();
         pos++)
    {
       handleAction(lastbutton->action[pos]);
    }


During handleAction(), the internals of the QStringList 'action' get 
messed up, so that you get a bad pointer deference in 
'lastbutton->action.count()' causing the segfault (see the {sh = ... } 
bits below):

    Breakpoint 2, ThemedMenuPrivate::keyPressHandler (this=0x8252688,
    e=0xbffff610)
        at themedmenu.cpp:1946
    1946                for (unsigned int pos = 0; pos <
    lastbutton->action.count();
    Current language:  auto; currently c++
    (gdb) p lastbutton->action
    $1 = {<QValueList<QString>> = *{sh = 0x833c720}*, <No data fields>}
    (gdb) n
    1949                    handleAction(lastbutton->action[pos]);
    (gdb) n
    1946                for (unsigned int pos = 0; pos <
    lastbutton->action.count();
    (gdb) p lastbutton->action
    $2 = {<QValueList<QString>> = *{sh = 0x1}*, <No data fields>}

I haven't managed to find the actual cause yet...

Cheers,
Nick
