I have done my final test on Tower. From that website i grabbed "openSUSE_Krypton_stable.x86_64-5.10.90-Build15.1.iso", which is like a development/test-build of Tumbleweed [it happens to use all the same Plasma (5.10.3), Qt (5.9.1), Applications (17.04.2), Frameworks (5.35.0) & Kernel (4.11.8-1) as the official Tumbleweed running on Lappy.
it's great news for me, but not so great news for Maui.
I configured KWin the same way i've already explained, then repeated the same test. It was -- phew -- rock solid; every bit as good as Lappy's TW, & the KaOS Live USB tested a few hours ago on Tower... not a single KWin crash. I'm sorry to have to say, but it leaves all the Ubuntu 16.04-based P5's ive tested/used, in the dust wrt this KWin stability. And of course, the KaOS & oS LiveUSBs have now indisputably proven that my Tower's hardware is not the root cause of the chronic problem.
If you can think of any further realistic test i should try / reconfiguration of Maui that i should do, i'll be happy to try it. However if no other suggestions are viable, then ... sadly ... i think it's now pretty clear to me what i will have to do...
