Version: (using KDE 4.0.98) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Sometimes my kwin crashes right after loging in. But i also suspect my graphic card drivers to cause it (GeForce 9600 GS, beta proprietary x86_64 drivers) becoause some grpahics "flickering" may be seen before the crash.

In a text editor open up ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc and make sure blur is disabled. If it is enabled disable it and see if the crash goes away, if it does I'll mark this as a duplicate of the blur crash.

I have the same symptoms (crash during kde4 login) with a nvidia 9600 GT card and nvidia drivers (177.80-0ubuntu3). Disabling blur effect has removed the crash for me. On Kubuntu 8.10 (kde 4.1.3)
