The crash itself happens in 3: FindGlyphByHash, frame 1 and 2 are just the Xorg
code that actually prints out the backtrace. There's supposed to be nothing an
X client can do to crash the X server, so this is an Xorg bug.

Given that it comes from a function trying to find glyphs I would assume you
have a corrupted font glyph cache somehow. So you may want to try running
fc-cache --really-force to rebuild your font caches and then restart KDE.
Either way it's not a KDE bug, although if you find some way we're abusing X
that we shouldn't be then please reopen this bug with details. Thanks.
