Maybe you need to re-think your layout.
Since years I've been told that mixing environments (I mean, the two big
ones, GNOME and KDE) and their applications was not a problem. I've never
agreed with that possition and always tried to keep these two as separate
as possible to avoid problems.
Nowadays, GNOME and KDE are both needing from specific applications to be
launched and I find that -specially KDE- is starting (since KDE 4.x) to
make (ab)use of db backends for almost anything, for running your system
session and also applications.
In brief, I'm sure most of the users running a pure KDE environment do
not face all that problems. Well, yes, but that's another question and we
should add a new variable... KDE 4.6 is more stable than KDE 4.4, that's
another well-known fact ;-)
So calm down and go resolving your crashes with a high dose of patience.
But don't give up! "Patience is a virtue".

That depends... are you running Kmail from a KDE session or are you in
GNOME or...? Most of the KDE settings (like Akonadi/Nepomuk setup) are
configured from "User Settings" or whatever it is named now :-), so I
would start from that.
