I'm using KDEmod and it is not as stable as one would have hoped. I think the problem is mainly with GTK since the instability occurs when I use GTK based apps.
If I use Gimp to edit a photo KDE just crashes after I opened 5 or 6 photos, if I use OpenOffice I get really very sluggish performance. If I execute the same tasks in Fluxbox I have no problems, no glitches, nothing.
I came across this bug when I noticed something odd if I left my computer unattended (idle for a while with only Firefox running) and came back to find KDE had crashed. Since then it has happened all too often to not give it some serious thought now.
Could someone give me some advice as to what to reinstall or how to troubleshoot to be sure what the problem is.

Not enough info, unfortunately... Though I did drop KDEmod in favor of vanilla KDE about six months ago. Right now there's no reason to mistrust vanilla KDE.

Well I'm going to remove KDEmod now and try with normal KDE and see if that helps.

Downloading the xorg-server package posted in the second link fixed it for me.

Thanks for the links! Will test it out ASAP!
