Last I tried I got this crash:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427383

It appears to be an X11 issue, there's not much we KDE maintainers can do about 
it. Unfortunately, the logs are very non-informative, so if I was an X11 
maintainer I wouldn't know where to start debugging this. :-( That's probably 
why it hasn't been looked into yet.

Maybe forcing xdriver=cirrus (as a boot parameter) helps? Supposedly, QEMU 
emulates a Cirrus Logic chip and the cirrus driver is supposed to be working 
now in Rawhide.
