Some more information.

I can reproduce the crash always in the following way:

1) Boot the machine.
2) Log in to KDE. Everything works, including 3d effects.
3) Log out of KDE. KDM starts.
4) Log back in -> X crashes, KDM restarts immediately.
5) Log in again -> KDE disables 3d effects and allows logging in.

Sometimes if I try to enable effects after 5), I can crash X again. But that does not happen every time.

It also might be relevant that I can reproduce the crash on both my desktop machine and my laptop, both of which are running Oneiric and both of which have Intel integrated graphics. I have not seen similar behavior with my work desktop, which has discrete nVidia graphics.
