I had DISPLAY=:0 kwin --replace running in another virtual console session and dumped the output of the terminal.

SUMMARY
Every now and then kwin crashes. This has been going on for a long time now. I think there was a period it didn't happen so much but I can't remember.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
This feels GPU driver related as it tends to happen when starting an application that creates a new opengl context (like a game or application with opengl rendering) or sometimes even when doing something intensive on the GPU.

I'm not able to reliably reproduce this. Right now it happened when I started spotify and I had DISPLAY=:0 kwin --replace running in another virtual console session. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  KDE neon 5.26
KDE Kwin Version: 5.26.3
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
GPU:  Navi 21 [Radeon RX 6900 XT]
Mesa driver Version: 22.2.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can try to attach a backtrace at some point, but I've been postponing reporting about this issue for a long time now. I figure a log from kwin is a good start.

I also started kwin now dumping its log to a file for maybe better context.
