Agreed. I had some stability problems a few years ago, but that was when manually enabling options clearly marked as experimental (IIRC it was when the option to enable damage and composite with GLX was first added). Since then every system crash I might have blamed on it has turned out to be caused by hardware problems.

Still get some graphical corruption with KDE4, mind :P

So did I, it would seem to be some contention between KDE and the NVidia driver when trying to do anti-aliasing.

I changed the anti-alias configuration setting of the driver to allow it override the application setting and this seems to have fixed the problem.
