The workaround mentioned in the linked KDE bug does not work, even after removing ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, plasma still crashes.
This is due to the global plasma-appletsrc file /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, from the kubuntu-default-setting package. It contains a number of geometry settings that aren't suitable for this display, resulting in a crash.
Workaround is to remove all 'geometry=' lines from /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, and ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc if present.
