I'm in the same boat but so far I can't stop it from crashing. Initially, I uninstalled fusion-icon to no avail. Then "sudo apt-get remove --purge kicker-taskbar-compiz" seemed to work, as it stopped crashing for a few hours.
I removed the trash icon from kicker because I was getting multiple dialog boxes regarding the trash whenever it crashed. Next, I noticed it happened sometimes right when I switched desktops, so I removed the desktop preview & pager. It crashed every couple of hours today and at the moment, it won't run at all -- just crashes immediately after starting. --- Okay, just found some consistency. I have eight desktops, and dual monitors, and use transparency in kicker. It's crashing as soon as I start it on desktop 4, and crashes anytime I switch to desktop 4. It seems stable switching between the other desktops, at least for the last 20 seconds. Desktop 4 uses a gradient background (kdesktop > options > colors > horizontal gradient) across both screens while all the other desktops use images for their wallpaper, some across both screens and some not. I also noticed the background of Tasty menu flickering for a second after changing desktops and sometimes retaining artifacts, like incorrect renders of the background. It didn't used to do that. I'm going to change desktop 4 to an image background and see if I can keep kicker running. I'll report back if things get stable again. Also, for anyone in a pinch like me, you can try using fbpanel (in repos) as a replacement bar.
