To get a stable KDE I suggest the following way:

Compile QT with --thread --disable-open-gl  (don't know if these are the
exact names of the options)
You get a libqt and a libqt-mt
Then compile kde with --disable-open-gl --disable-threads (I think this is
only for the screensaver in kdebase)
Now you shout have a stable desktop.

So, now you can try this: save libqt and compile qt with open-gl support
enabled. If open-gl depents on libqt-mt your desktop should stay stable.
You can use libqt-mt for your own programs. But if this breaks your desktop
stability you can fallback to the saved qt libs.

If you do it this way I'm interested in the results.

Bye
