I thought that's all that failsafe did, was disable compositing.
Check your
~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
to ensure compositing is not enabled.
If that's all, I can live with it for a while. There's an awful lot of
stuff
in kwinrc, to say that it's supposed to be disabled. What do you think?

SystemSettings had it enabled. I've just turned it off there and I'll try a
new login.
Hmm - as it shut down, kontact briefly showed! No wonder I couldn't get it to
start. Well, I'm back in a full KDE session, minus compositing, and
konversation has launched without causing a crash. Akonadi is still cycling
back and forth, but that's another story. It looks as though there is no
compositing with this GPU and the Intel driver.
