Bug Description

If i disable desktop effects in kde there is no crash.
Crash is happening every time. I login for the first time everything is fine, logout, then try to login and X crashes returning me to the kdm login.
After crash, i can log in, and effects are disabled. When i go to system settings/desktop effects it says kwin had crashed and i have to confirm that i want effects to be enabled.
Had no problem with 11.04 whatsoever.

I am seeing the same behavior with xserver-xorg-video-intel on Kubuntu 11.10 64-bit. So far I have been unable to get a backtrace in kdm.log with symbols, so any hint how to enable then (apart from installing -dbg packages for xserver-xorg-video-intel) is much appreciated!

Confirm this bahaviour, and it also affects me. Upon first login desktop effects remain active, switching desktop effects (alt-shift-f12) or logout and login again crashes kdm. Next login will be without desktop effects enabled.
