I think you need help from a developer or someone working on kwin, your
stack trace should (hopefully) help them. Unless anyone else on the list
has
an idea. A SEGV should not occur.

This is what I get...

brk(0x8058000)                          = 0x8058000
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0645, st_size=548, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0x40014000
read(4, "# $XFree86: xc/lib/Xft/XftConfig"..., 4096) = 548
open("/home/dale/.xftconfig", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
read(4, "", 4096)                       = 0
read(4, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0x40014000, 4096)                = 0
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
brk(0x805c000)                          = 0x805c000
brk(0x805d000)                          = 0x805d000
etc...
