Bug 269551

Application: kwin (4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1))
KDE Platform Version: 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1)
Qt Version: 4.7.0
Operating System: Linux 2.6.35-28-generic x86_64
Distribution: Ubuntu 10.10

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Usually I hit the Activation keys for the desktop grid, which in my case is the Meta+D keys (on my keyboard the "Windows" key and the letter D. It always works no problems.

My son started doing the same combination, but it would crash for him frequently. Eventually we figured out that he holds the keys down for more than a few seconds, whereas I hit them quickly and release.

The symptom when you hold them down is the screen goes blank for a grief second, and then KWin crashes.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Segmentation fault
