*** Bug 263064 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am not able to reproduce this bug. Is there anything special to trigger it? Any behaviour pattern? E.g. a window gets closed and a special number of windows is still open?
open 15or more windows, use coverswitch as effect. now press alt+tab and then hold the tabulator down and leave alt. Kubuntu 10.10 Qt: 4.7.0 KDE: 4.5.95 (4.6 RC2)
I can confirm that Fabian's sequence also causes the crash here on 4.6 RC1 on openSuse with NVidia drivers, however that was not what I did when I was getting my regular crashes, mine was just two presses of alt-tab. I've been unable to recreate the crash in regular use for a few weeks, but I've been on holiday and not using external monitors or as many open windows as usual so I'll need to test with that set-up.
No crash here (yes, with active sidearm tabbox ;-) However i've only tested on 4.5.5 & and unclean trunk. Notably it contains this patch: http://svn.reviewboard.kde.org/r/6355/ Maybe you could test whether it fixes your crash?

(In reply to comment #20) Also I must mention that during "laggy kde" memory usage on Xorg reports 500M (!), then I tried close all applications - Xorg memory usage reduces to 100 M, but KDE remains laggy. Then I logged out and restarted X server, logged in started all needed apps (same apps as before KWin crash) and til now (elapsed ~10 min) Xorg memory usage remains 37 M, KDE works fast. Xorg memory leaks?
Sigh. I've had at least 6 crashes today, 2 in the last hour with a full reboot in-between to clean things out and reducing the number of open windows, and this after 4-5 weeks of no crashes while running the RC's. Things also feel sluggish again generally with random Xorg cpu spikes. The only difference I can think of is I'm now back to using my external monitor instead of just the laptop screen, and I've upgraded to the latest NVidia drivers. Perhaps I'll try roll back to the previous drivers tomorrow to see if that helps.
A temporary solution would be to disable boxswitch. Unfortunately I am still unable to reproduce and in fact rather clueless.

can you try 4.6.1? The patch from comment #27 should be in there (but we don't know for sure whether that's it)
