Maybe the term 'crash' is wrong. X ends up with a white screen and a
cursor-cross in the middle movable with the mouse. So, it's not really a crash
but a screen which allows no inputs at all. I have to kill the xserver to get
back to the command line to do anything.
Which kwinrc do you mean, the one in ~/kde... or in ~/kde4...
both contain a slightly different kwinrc, but none has a 'Compositing' section.
Both contain only a [sVersion] and a [Desktops] section showing my
desktop-names. The .kde4.version shows the 6 desktop-names i defined while
kde-4.1.3 was running.
