Comment # 3 on bug 1028575 from Mircea Kitsune

I discovered an important detail today: The crash is not limited to KDE desktop
effects, unlike most crashes of this sort and what I initially suspected! I've
had compositing disabled for several hours (alt + shift + F12) yet the exact
same crash occurred just now: All windows and buttons froze in place while only
the mouse cursor could be moved, the monitor then turned itself on and off a
few times, and I found myself back to the login manager. Upon killing X11 and
logging back in, I was presented with a window asking to check my compositor
settings... indicating that KDE might have detected compositing as a source,
although it's been entirely turned off so that couldn't be true.

Could a maintainer or developer familiar with this part of the system please be
dispatched to the issue? I have reported it two weeks ago, and so far there has
been no official response here. While I understand the developers are busy with
other concerns, this is a major problem due to which I can't keep my system
from being shot down at random daily intervals. Considering that such a crash
may occur anytime, including during a package update or while other processes
are handling data, it leaves my system at risk of data corruption!

Additionally, could I please request that updates for x11 and the AMD video
driver are prioritized? http://tumbleweed.boombatower.com indicates that Devel
has the following versions pending: xorg-x11-server 1.19.3 (currently 1.19.2),
xf86-video-ati 7.9.0 (currently 7.8.0), Mesa 17.0.2 (currently 17.0.1).
Yesterday's Factory snapshot appears to have ignored these packages. As Kernel
updates don't seem to affect the issue, I'm hoping a new version of one of
these components might include a solution. Thank you.
