I can't get it to work... maybe the installation+removal of the NVidia binary 
drivers wiped out some files... (I installed from ports)

I'm using the KDE-classic decoration

Never though of that... thanks.

Unfortunately, this backtrace is not much use, and the information it contains 
is mostly rubbish.

I've been using the NVidia drivers since the day they were released, and I've 
never seen a KDE crash that could be attributed to them. That's multiple 
versions of -STABLE and multiple versions of KDE, everything from 3.0.x to 
KDE CVS.I have seen twice X crash entirely (and in fact, spontaneously 
reboot the machine) apparently from the nvidia drivers, but in both those 
cases I was playing movies via the tv-out port, and there was no window 
manager or desktop environment running at all.  Just X, an xterm, and 
mplayer.  If there's a bad interaction with KDE and the nvidia binary 
drivers, it apparently isn't affecting all nvidia based cards, making it 
pretty hard to work on unfortunately :(.

To try:
Does the problem go away entirely if you use the nv drivers?
Does the problem go away if you switch to the "kde-classic" window decoration 
in KDE?

You'll also probably get more input by asking on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
