I've found that if I hit and hold the 'volume down' keyboard command by computer logs out. I found a posting on KDE Gitlab (Segmentation fault at 0x7fff2ad9b000 on version 21.1.1-3 (#1261) · Issues · xorg / xserver) that seems to include a fix but the files listed in the fix (dix: Correctly save replayed event into GrabInfoRec (!865) · Merge requests · xorg / xserver · GitLab) don't come up in a search of my system. So, I assume something is renamed that I'm missing. I was just planning to edit the file myself.

@fbodymechanic It's exactly as funny as you think it is lol. I hold volume down to turn something down. boop crashed back to login screen lol

Looks like the fix has been merged so it will be included in a future Xorg update.
