Interesting. Would you mind commenting such in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=533620
From what I gather from my only slight comprehension of the
xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch in question, and after a slightly
heated discussion in #kde-devel from others that *do* know it a bit
better... it would seem that the patch is far from ideal, and while it
does fix kms-related crashes, it comes at a performance hit in some
cases (very well be the non-kms case it seems).
