Yes, I updated prior to patching it.
Some thoughts:
- I use the mac-style top menus and those affect KWin quite a lot, judging
from all your commits. Might be related.
- I didn't login again after the crash, I used kwin --replace or I started
kwin from a virtual console (export DISPLAY=:0). Thus, the other running
apps were started under supervision of the old kwin checkout, if that
matters. I don't think so, I restarted ksirc before each try.
- My ksirc is several months old, and while it uses current kdelibs it
could very well be that your checkout no longer exhibits the bug.
Nevertheless, even a (broken?) app shouldn't be able to get kwin to
its knees, so it still needs fixing.
- After sending the mail I noticed that it also fixed the crash that I had
the last couple of days when trying to make xine go full screen. Xine is
also a pretty old version, but again, kwin shouldn't choke on it.
Hope this helps,
