as long as you don't enter an infinte loop, a stackdump is hardly helpful regarding performance issues. first you need to determine which process causes the cpu load (top, could be induced by the kcm but occur in X11 or -through compositing- kwin) then you have to profile it (try sysprof) to get some usable numbers last: the dump ends in some style painting. you might want to try "kcmshell4 kwincompositing --style cde" to quick-check whether the style is the culprit (but as mentioned, this cannot be really read of of a stackdump)
is this still an issue?
(In reply to comment #2) > is this still an issue? apparently not...
