Any thoughts? > A few things that might be worth trying: Delete ~/.kde/share/config/plasma*rc - if there is corruption in either of those rebuilding them (by re-logging in) should get rid of the problem. If you have flgrx, remove it. KWin apparently doesn't like it. In systemsettings - make sure that Desktop Effects are not enabled. There are some known problems. Most reports have been about Intel video, but I have problems of freezes on this laptop which is ATi Radeon X600. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464866 is almost certainly my problem. Whether it's your colleague's depends I guess on whether his crash is immediately on launching KDE or random times afterwards.
