I had the same problem "kwin PID : 1952 Signal : Segmentation fault (11)" after a fresh install of Mageia4 on a new computer :
- Mother board : GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-DS2
- Processeur : AMD A8-7600 (the lattest APU Kaveri with integrated graphic and HSA)
- Monitor 1440x900 with DVI-D single link

First install :
KDE crashed with this message " Exécutable : kwin PID : 1952 Signal : Segmentation fault (11) "
I couldn't activate the desktop effects and graphic was very slow.
I couldn't run catalyst with admin privilege (the link didn't work).
I tried many things before I finally loosed the control of x11.

Second install :
Same crash with same message.
I ran catalyst with the command amdcccle (in root)
Catalyst Control Center immediatly crash and shut down the session each time I clic on the "detection button"
I uninstalled fglrx-kernel-desktop-3.12.25 (and fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest)
I installed the previous version fglrx-kernel-desktop-3.12.21

Now it works fine.
I hope this post can help despite it's not the same hardware (AMD/ATI vs INTEL/NVIDIA).

Do I have to make a separate bug for the bad link to Catalyst-admin ?

And not the same version (Mageia 4-64 install vs Mageia 3-32 live).
Comment 3 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:05:58 CEST
Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
