Kwin 4.2b w/ intel GMA 945 causes apps to crash all over the place

I am finding kwin 4.2b a total mess on my machine. Everytime I type something in a kde app, it crashes. Some programs like smplayer just crash when opened. Other larger gtk apps refuse to open.

I've tested this with and without desktop effects, across different kernels and xorg versions (I am currently on the latest from testing), different xorg.confs (and without xorg.conf) with the same results. Kde apps work completely as they should with any other window manager, so I can only conclude the problem is purely with kwin, although I never had it with 4.1. If I could get compiz to work in kde 4.2, this would solve the problem as well (I can't though).

I have removed the .kde folders to no avail as well.

Has anyone else had this problem? I am hesitant to file a bug report if no one else has experienced this as it might suggest a glitch somewhere in my own configuration files. I can't imagine what that might be, so if anyone has suggestions for that, I am all ears.
