I am upgrading the severity and the priority to get this fixed ASAP. The reason is this. I had not been using my virtual machines, but I just now started something where I will have to frequently go into my virtual machine (virtualbox). I start it up in full screen mode. However, if the kwin fault happens while virtualbox is up and running in full screen mode (which happens on my pc more often than not), there is no recourse. You cannot open a konsole and kill kwin_x11 and restart it, because the keyboard and mouse are both grabbed by the virtual machine and will not respond. This has happened twice to me, both times while I was in the middle of critical work. The only thing to do when that happens is to hold the power button down until the computer shuts off, and then completely reboot. Not good for anyone. Please put some attention onto this bug, I know that other people are having it, as it effects 2 of my computers.
