Update: even though updating to Karmic still led to freezes with 2.6.30RC3, I reinstalled yet again and have had no crashes with this setup:
Karmic upgrade from Jaunty server, 2.6.30RC3, installed only KDM with compiz and konsole set to run in .xsession. I didn't install kwin or gnome but let gnome install as a dependency of screenlets but nothing set to default and nothing automatically running except KDM, compiz, konsole and screenlets at login. I think this may be related/dependent on KDE4.2 or specifically plasma. While I do miss plasma, I love no crashes. Anybody experience similar or crashes with Gnome? If I have time, I try to add applications until crash time and see if I can narrow it down. I installed "kdm" only, not kde-core as previously done and am using compiz to replace x-window-manager (as bare as I could make this install) and it works very well. Performance is way better than a standard KDE install. ** Attachment added: "the glory of compiz-only dual screen action with Karmic and no crashes.
