Bug 203830

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.4 (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I switch windows using the Cover Switch effect. Sometimes when I choose the right window and release the alt key, the screen zooms half way to the selected window, halts for a fraction of second and then kwin crashes and restarts itself. Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce it on a regular basis.

I am using nvidia proprietary drivers (185.18.31).

The backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Segmentation fault
