If you're using an old Intel graphics chip, could you try to uninstall drm-kmp-default package once, reboot and retest?
I'm not sure what old Intel graphics relates to. I have an "Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz" and after updating to 42.3 from 42.2 I have frequent intermittent gpu hangs unless I boot with nomodeset. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1050256

Ouch!
i3-2120 (8086:0102 aka Sandy Bridge) was introduced >6 years ago. I have slightly older working fine with Plasma (but only in TW: all my 42.3 use TDE or KDE3.)
You could try uninstalling xf86-video-intel. That should cause Xorg to run on Xorg's integrated modesetting driver, which all my Intel machines that aren't too old for it to support are happily using. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Today I faced the same problem at work on a machine that I just upgraded from 42.2 to 42.3.
From times to times, the window manager was crashing and restarting, until the session was finally finished and the login screen presented, making impossible to use any desktop environment (now I use GNOME, but I tried GNOME Classic and Plasma 5 and the same happened).
I have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz, according to YaST. Searching the mailing list, I came to this thread. First, I tried uninstalling the xf86-video-intel package, actually I uninstalled xf86-video-* packages, leaving only xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev (I believe those are the generic drivers, am I right?) and then rebooted. Nothing changed: crashes still happened. Then, I uninstalled the drm-kmp-default package and rebooted. Until now (uptime = 25 minutes), no crashes with GNOME. I'm going home now, tomorrow I will watch and see if the problem has really been solved. I'm not sure if I'm using Xorg's integrated modesetting driver because if I try to find what video driver is in use on my system (following instructions I found here: https://askubuntu.com/a/254877/560233), I retrieve the following: # lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:d000] Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 Am I still using the Intel driver? As I uninstalled the xf86-video-intel package, shouldn't it have been gone?
