If kwin hangs we need a backtrace of kwin in the frozen state

> If kwin hangs we need a backtrace of kwin in the frozen state

How can I be sure that it's kwin's fault? Result is that Windows cannot be moved but are active so I only suppose it's kwin. Maybe I should provide backtrace of something additional?
