Being that you're most probably running Gentoo I would ask what your flag/build options might be? If you're like so many people here you probably aren't running a completely stable build. Possibly some flag is contributing to this problem? In a standard KDE forum where most folks will (like me) just be running a standard distro (like me - Kubuntu) they will (like me) tell you they don't see the problem... - Mark - Mark
