[Kde-games-devel] Fwd: Kwin4 crash

[Martin Heni]

Hello guys,

unfortunately I get repeated emails from people using KDE on mandrake 9.x
where kwin4 does not seem to work anymore. Does anybody of you have
any idea what to do or how to fix that bug (or run mandrake?).  In the worst
case this problem arises also with other distributions or newer versions of 
KDE?
I am quite behind with upgrading and therefore might not have noticed the 
problem.

I would be very grateful for any help. Ideas, patches, bugfixes are 
welcome!!!!!

Here an typical example mail:
