Description of problem: Xserver crash occurs on attempt to quit screensaver Flurry. Sometimes it happen even on preview window when I select different screensaver. My DE is KDE 4.5.4 with kwin as window manager. Crash is not 100% reproductible but for me it happen twice every three attempts. Other GL screensavers like Euphoria or Flux are working fine.

No crash occurs Additional info: Usually I run kwin with composite on, but it doesn't matter, I can reproduce crash with effects off too.

Well, "X crashes" usually means that it is a bug in X (X server, or X drivers or so). Once changing the component to "X". However anyway more information is needed. I expect that X maintainers will ask you some additional questions.
Perhaps a dup of bug 624621?
