I am only recently having this problem, too. I do have AA fonts enabled, so I'm sure that is part of it. Is the bug just in the flawed qt/kde AA support or is it the fault of X and/or the video drivers. I've been using AA fonts for almost a year now and this problem has never occurred until the last week or so with unstable. I haven't been able to narrow the problem down.
I know that we're not supposed to file bug reports anymore about aa font problems in kde, but I have always used them happily until now. What gives? :) Hmm I'm using an NVIDIA card in an AMD machine with a preemptive kernel too! I'm having all sorts of fun as of late!

Anti-aliased fonts. Had that same problem last year (when using Mandrake). Disabled AA fonts and response went back to normal. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | !
