I have the same exact symptoms, and this is getting really frustrating. I have eliminated every plugin ONE at a time, and everything else one at a time, and still, it causes my system to flicker the "Desktop - System Settings," then everything disappears and it goes back to OEM state on the desktop with the default background.
Like the OP, the only way i can recover this crash is if i modify ~/.kde/share/configs/kwinrc so that the Enable=false. I have also tried compiz, which worked for one boot, and then it didn't work any more. I love the desktop effects, since i am indeed an aesthetically oriented person when it comes to my computer. Another odd detail i have noticed, when i boot up after CRTL+ALT+DEL when i open "CTRL+ALT+F1" the splash screen is really choppy. I have tried numerous tactics to get this thing to work, and it DID WORK FOR A SOLID 3 DAYS, then stopped working. Anything on how to get my desktop graphics back and working properly, would be much appreciated.
