Rex: Yes, disabling desktop effects allows me to start KDE normally. Oddly enough, I seem to be able to re-enable desktop effects (when running in normal mode) without ill effect (no pun intended). This worked under Fedora 13/KDE 4.4. I have an nVidia GTS 250 and am running the 260.19.12 driver (same driver under F13, but the old 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 kernel rather than the 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 of F14). Where should I start looking? Is there some place that kwin spits out a log?
