David, 

I already put in a report for this bug. It seems to be something with the 
NOMAD patch as the compiz rpm's in XGL do _NOT_ have the same behavior (I 
didn't actually pull down the sourec for the 2 and check the spec's to see 
what is built against the 2, but my guess is that NOMAD patch is Compiz and 
non NOMAD in XGL is the only difference. 

You'll probably get a crash with closing krdc also.
