The ksmserver crash is not the problem, it is a resultant of the server
restart. ksmserver is not running with the Blackbox session and I get
the very same crash.

I don't know what precision you need:
1) login to an X11 session.
2) open a terminal or any text editor
3) type something
4) keep pressed any arrow key or the backspace key
5) BOOM
