I agree with Dudu, nvidia-drivers is the likely culprit. There were huge problems in the early days of KDE-4, it's very possible that bugs are still lurking. A useful site to trawl looking for similar problems and solutions: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 It's a semi-official announce site for nVidia plus general Forum. The driver devs read the list and respond to major issues. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
