>From memory (+- 1 year ago), that is an assertion in libxcb that
deliberately crashes if it thinks the program that called it is doing
something incorrectly. Since KDE 4 is a development release still, that
assertion needs to be turned off in xcb. Just comment out the line of
code in xcb and recompile it.
