I don't think this is related to graphics drivers. As I said, I have the
same reproducible problem on one machine with nVidia drivers (from
rpmfusion), and on another machine with Intel graphics.

There is *something* on these machines which interacts badly with the
latest kernel, and crashes kwin's desktop effects as a consequence. On
the other hand, that same piece of software interacts ok with the older
kernel, and everything works.

I am not saying that the kernel is the culprit, but it is obviously
somehow related to the problem at hand. If it works for you, we probably
need to dig deeper...

Best, :-)
