First off, this bug specifically refers to the use of the binary NVidia driver, 
which I know at least one of the posters on this thread says that they are not 
using.  But, the manifestations described are just like what you all are 
describing, and they are exactly what I WAS experiencing with Fedora 12:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533620

Also, check this out:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#Problems_when_using_KDE_with_the_proprietary_NVIDIA_graphics_driver.2C_some_Radeon_dual-
head_configurations.2C_or_nouveau_with_KMS_disabled

In addition, I needed to follow the steps that appear under the "Fedora 12 
Special Notes" section on the below linked page:
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-nvidia.html

Applying the information contained in the above links fixed my problem, which at 
least LOOKS exactly like what you are describing.

If you have any questions about the "various" test builds of xorg that are 
involved in making all of this possible, I will get back to you after I get home 
from work today...

P.S.: For some reason I have been having issues with KDE's KMail and the 
breaking of links.  So at least one of the above quoted links might be broken...
