Here is something encouraging.

This morning (May 9) I tried the xorg-edgers ppa again, and now the crash on logout is gone. No workarounds, no mess. This is, again, in Kubuntu/KDM.

If anyone wants to try, here are the instructions. From the command line:

To install:
"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa"
Then refresh your packages and upgrade.

To uninstall:
"sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers"

For more, please see here:

I had tried this before with no luck. If we can confirm that this has been fixed upstream, then there is hope we can get a fix backported.
