[KDE4] Compositing issue. Screen meshed up

I've got a problem.
When KDE4 compositon is turned on and video in full screen is playing, if something pops up (PSI popup, or OSD from other programs) the screen becames messed for a second. Random fragments of images. THe same effect when KDE splash screen is active.
Turning off compositing helps.
Nvidia GF 9400. Tried other drivers - doesn't help. KDEmod 4.2.2-1
Is there any solution except turning the composition off?

I've encountered this problem alot of times. I've always though it was due to a preformance issue since I use the open Source Drivers. Do you use the propietary or the open source drivers. Also, as far as I know turning effects off is the only way.

You should try to use the shourcut provided to do this(Ctrl + Alt + F12), makes it alot faster.

I had the same Problem. Try to turn off "Blur" Effect on System Settings->Desktop->Desktop Effects->Apperance.
