To put it together: 1. I saw the same freezing issue also on the stable OpenSuse 11.1 with KDE 4.2 installed separately (as 11.1 has only 4.1) from the development (factory) branch. 2. So far, it happens on ATI, Intel and nVidia video hardware. 3. Crashes are unpredictable. Differences may be ext

I've tested kwin now. The desktop effects use opengl (at least in my case) and I get the same freezing as described here and in Bug # 350933. I'm still not sure if this problem is kwin specific or opengl specific. Interestingly, the gnome desktop effects work fine. What renderer is used by gnome?
