PSA: trapd00r's LS_COLORS project breaks KDE 5.
 
I'm using Alien Bob's KDE 5 package and I kept getting that infamous bug where it would start into a black screen where all you had was a mouse cursor.

After much debugging, I managed to figure out what the problem was.

I'd had the LS_COLORS file from https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS as my ~/.dir_colors, and that, amazingly enough, was what was causing KDE to break.

Have I reported this to the KDE devs? I should, but no I haven't.

Anyway, just thought the KDE 5 users here would like to know.

Definitely report this as a bug at https://bugs.kde.org/ please!

Why would you choose to decide to *NOT* report this to the devs?! :(
