Something else I noticed about this bug. After designer-qt3 crashes the xserver, if I do a CTL+ALT+F1 to get to the text mode console, I'm no longer able to use the console because the monitor appears to be out of sync like when the refresh rate isn't set correctly. But even with the console out of sync, the screen with the login prompt (ALT+F7) is still readable and in sync. In order to get the text mode console back into sync, I must reboot the computer.

Here are some messages from my syslog which I believe are thrown by this crash.
Aug 2 18:29:29 kubuntu kernel: [ 335.822159] Xorg[5874]: segfault at 000001a4 eip 0818faaa esp bfef5860 error 4

Aug 2 18:29:29 kubuntu kdm[4934]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly

Any workarounds for this bug?
