Dunno if I can be of much help, but maybe if we knock our heads together we can figure this out. First thing thing... The log that you've posted doesn't seem to indicate where the crash is and it doesn't seem to be the Xorg log which can be found at /etc/log/Xorg.0.log Next time you get a crash please post what is contained there. The other thing I gotta ask, is what happens if you start with a completely clean configuration. I guess you can either do that with a completely new user for the computer or backup .kde and start again.
