I have tried the following on a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04:
1. Installed nxnode_3.5.0-9_i386.deb and nxserver_3.5.0-11_i386.deb from nomachine.com
2. Installed libxrandr2_1.4.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr (under Raring) - note that I'm installing a Raring binary package on a Precise system, but it seems to work fine.

I can confirm that the Kwin crash is gone, from as much as I could test. However, I've noticed another problem:

When the main NX window is resized, the Kwin desktop does not get resized with it. The root window does change the resolution, though, which is evidenced by the fact that windows can be dragged into the newly added area. See the attached screenshot for a visual explanation of the problem.

I discovered that downgrading libxfixes3 package to the one from Oneric (isntall package libxfixes3_5.0-4_i386.deb) enables the Kwin desktop window to be resized together with the main NX window.
