Though you did not state which release, it appears to be something similar to my problems on my sid laptop. Please see the thread at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25539.
In my testing, I figure it is either KDE, QT, the kernel, or the nvidia driver. I do not think it is KDE, since I originally upgraded to 4.6.2, but had the same issue in 4.4.5 after rebuilding and upgrading to sid. I am leaning toward the new nvidia drivers (260.19.44). Have a look at the thread above and see if it looks like your situation. --b On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 8:35 AM, Hans-J.
