X crashes randomly when working with KDE4. This one happend when opening a new window. This crash I catched with gdb and have a more or less good backtrace. I installed debug version of xorg-server and intel-video driver to get some information out of the backtrace. Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
