So here's what I've found so far. My work laptop has an Intel chipset
and a 64-bit install of Fedora 18. I've never had the notification
widget crash the desktop there. My home computer has a nVidia card and
was a 32-built version of Fedora 18 and was having crashes all the time.
I reinstalled with a 64-built Fedora 18 build and still had the issues.
The only way I've been able to keep kwin from dying is to disable the
system tray notifications widget. I've read elsewhere it's a code path
issue in Qt that KDE 4.10+ triggers that wasn't triggered in the past
and could require a significant rewrite of Qt to fix. Also doesn't seem
to happen on either system with compositing disabled, but I like my eye
candy ;)
So for me, it seems to get triggered more often with kwin running
compositing on nVidia cards than Intel cards. You guys having issues
might try disabling the notification widget. Yeah, notifications can
pop in the middle of the screen, but at least the don't bring kwin down
with them.
