In my case KDE does not crash, but it does not give me a desktop. I have had different appearances in the recent past: black screen, white screen and now my GNOME background (it is different from the background I had in KDE). I can start all the programs that I like using <ALT-F2>. Gnome works like a charm. Usually I do get a Aport message if I tried KDE and are back to Gnome (related to skim or scim and xrandr). I do think those are reported elsewhere, but until now I have not found out the proper bug number.
Comment 39 was mine[1].
