Comment 1 Lubos Lunak 2008-04-08 17:56:42 UTC 
The backtrace doesn't provide much information, please install debuginfo packages and try again (however, guessing from the info provided it seems the crash is in a decoration called Crystal, which is not a standard KDE decoration).
Comment 2 Sascha Hlusiak 2008-04-08 18:54:15 UTC 
Yes, this it not kde related but crystal caused by an incompatibility between kwin and aquamarine/compiz. Or just a bug in crystal. 

What version of crystal are you using? There are fixes in 1.0.5 and I know that Ubuntu ships fairly old packages.
Comment 3 Lubos Lunak 2008-04-18 15:23:41 UTC 
The crash is most probably in Compiz, which is not developed by the KDE team, in a decoration not developer by the KDE team, so closing.
