1. switch to TTY terminal and login
2. send SIGKILL signal to terminate kwin (SIGTERM is not sufficient)
pkill --signal SIGKILL kwin
3. run another terminal emulator in TTY terminal
env DISPLAY=:0 konsole
4. Switch back to X terminal, execute following command in the Konsole window
kwin &
5. redo 1~4 if the problem persists.

* It seems that this issue is not related to graphic hardware...
* ppa-purge the kubuntu-ppa/backports to downgrade everything back to quantal-updates seems to solve this issue too.
