[i965gm] X server crash with KDE SC 4.4 compositing

[reini]

Binary package hint: xorg

Since I've activated KDE SC 4.4's compositing, my X server crashes every couple of days. No advance warning, no apparent ill effects apart from having to log back in and redo every piece of work that wasn't saved. The screen goes blank, then switches to whatever tty was active before. Any sound output keeps playing for a couple of seconds (3-5) and the just stops. After I've logged back in, it takes another couple of days before the crash reoccurs.

The crash trace is in the .old log near the end.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

Please also ensure this bug has tags for each Ubuntu release
that the bug is confirmed as affecting.

The issue was present up to and including maverick, at which point I did a complete reinstall since I had previously confirmed that this would get rid of the problem. The issue hasn't occurred for me since, even though I seriously doubt it has been fixed in natty.

Turns out I was thinking of bug #575055, this one hasn't happened in ages. Sorry for the noise.
