This was reported before (bug 28801) but apparently fixed. Is this a regression?

Maybe. I did a "sudo apt-get build-dep kwin" and was asked to download some stuff, so maybe that fixed it. Havn't rebooted yet...

Yes, is still present in KDE 3.5.3
I can confirm this behaviour. I have KDE 3.5.3 and the system up to date and whenever I press the "see desktop" button, and if you press again the button to hide desktop or open an app, kwin crash with exactly the same report.

A workaround for me by the moment is to not use this button... it appears related only to it.

Excuse me; my info is not exact. The crash doesn't happen after a while playing with KDE. I only can confirm that it crashes with various app opened and when releases the button "show desktop" or maximizing an app.

I just played again a bit with KDE and unfortunately I've also to confirm that the bug is reapearing with latest KDE version in dapper.

I can confirm this bug too. I use kde 3.5.4 and I didn't have the problem before updating from 3.5.3. Don't know if the output from kde's crash handler helps but here it is anyway. Looks similar to the one above.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.
