I originally submitted a detailed bug report at the Mate Desktop

https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/issues/553.I subsequently discovered that other desktops are similarly
affected. All of them experienced segfaults or kernel traps in parts
of their components, particularly in the Marco window manager that
Mate uses.I have also tried Gnome, Kde, xfce, Cinnamon & Icewm desktops, again
on a Centos Stream 9 system. Similar results were found on an Alma
9 system so I do not believe the problem is specific to the
'upstream' / lesser-tested nature of CS9.Apart from Icewm which remained usable even with the segfaults, the
other desktops (particularly Mate which we use a lot for remote
working) are rendered unusable by this problem. None of our Centos
7 systems have this problem.I am running out of ideas to diagnose/fix this problem.
Any thoughts?
note that MATE upstream has fixed marco and now checks properly on the
available Xres extension version before using its API (and crashing).
See upstream: [1].
In Debian unstable, I added those patches this recently: [2].
