I have had a problem with kate crashing X from scrotwm.
I have also had another problem with kate that does not crash X.
I also built kdebase and scrotwm with debugging
I haven't been able to reproduce that X crash again.
However, I have noticed an easily reproducible problem with kate.
When I close with Ctrl-Q, shuts down just fine.
If I use Alt-f, then q, it consistently and usually crashes (kate, not X).
I have included the backtrace that kde supplies:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,

give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
