All you need to do is to revert a single commit (see upstream bug report, see 
ubuntu bug) to fix this random, but very common crash. This bug affects KDE 
very painfully due to its default settings [1]. It is rather unfortunate, that 
upstream does not seem to care. But then it comes the time for Debian 
maintainers to act.

The bug is a regression which causes Xserver crash (which by itself might mean 
data loss). Therefore, up'ing the severity to grave.
