so far I've seen people reporting the following chipsets to be affected, but there may be others intel 910 intel 945 intel 965 ati 3450

Given the fact that AMD and Intel rule the IGP market, I would say yes.

We would still need an announcement as for those who upgrade from previous versions this global configuration wont be effective. We should add to the announcement that people could disable composite by editing ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc (if they are no longer able to login)

you will be able to login, afaik this bug only shows up when changing stuff in system settings. disabling and enabling compositing with the global shortcut should be enough to get it working again.

hello, for me, it kills desktop instantly, not only while fiddling with settings. Manually disabling compositing in kwinrc helps, "setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 in ~/.bash_profile" doesn't affect the bug. I'm using kde on i945. Thanks, marek -- Marek Otahal :o)
