Version: 4.0.81 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 4.2.1 gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux 10.3) OS: Linux Using KDE 4.0.81 from openSUSE 10.3 KDE:/UNSTABLE:/ (Updated 06/06/2008) In System Setting, after enabling desktop affects, KWin crashes (causing a XServer crash in turn) when a right-click is done on the Column Header in KTorrent. Similar crashes occur when right-clicking any empty space in Dolphin. This does not happen if XRender is chosen (instead of OpenGL) in the Desktop Affects->Advanced Options->Compositing Type.

There is no mention of KWin crash in the log file, are you sure it's KWin crashing? Were there any other problems before you launched KTorrent? This looks like X/drivers bug.
I don't think it is a X/drivers bug because I have been using XGL/Compiz for a long time and it never crashes. I have no idea how to find out where the problem lies because as soon as I right-click, XServer crashes, there is not even a backtrace. This is a problem since I have started using KDE 4.0. The only workaround I have found is to change OpenGL to XRender in the advanced options. If you have any suggestion on what I might do to trace the problem, tell me. Thanks
If X server crashes, than it is presumably an X problem -> please report to them.
