I'm not sure what caused it, but KDE 4.1 suddenly won't run properly on one of my machines. It will start to run and die right at the point when the "splash screen" disappears. If I click the popup to make it go away, the desktop will appear for less than a second before being dropped out of X.
The error message that I see after that is:
xprop: unable to connect to display :0
My main "DE" (Fluxbox) works perfectly, so I don't think that it's a problem with X itself.
The video card brand is nVidia, if that helps any....

If you're getting dropped out of X then it's X that's crashing.
I will assume you have desktop effects enabled and they are causing your graphics driver to die somehow. You can disable desktop effects from the terminal by typing:
kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key Enabled --type bool false

It looks like you're probably correct about the compositing -- it works if I start a new session through VNC.
