I think part of the problem is that many themes were written for older Plasma 
versions and don't work well with recent releases.
Maybe there should be a was to tag them as unmaintained / deprecated / 
incompatible.

For me this seems to occur in conjunction with compositing. For some reason 
everything that accesses Plasma and/or KWin functions (plasma-desktop, 
krunner, kmix) just quits without any error message.
Try other drivers. A recent NVidia driver update seems to resolve most 
problems for me, even though I still understand why drivers make Plasma quit 
(crashes I could understand..).

I think this is supposed to be a feature.
