[Solved]Kde 4.2.4

Hey

I'm having some glitches with my nVidia 8600 GT 254 MB card and KDE 4.2.4.

Notice the KMenu and sys tray. Always the window decorations are "glitchy". It happens when KWin is enabled and when I switch desktop.

Hope there's a fix because KDE is great though.

Regards
Casper.

EDIT:

Just had to disable blur.

Do you have the blur effect enabled?  I was having the same kind of issues till I discovered http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=978778.  I disabled blur and problem solved.

Well I've got the blur effect enabled when windows are transparent, but the problem encountered before activating it. Or is it something else about blur that's enabled by default?

Thanks for the answer.

At least for me, I didn't have any problems until I enabled blur.  I didn't even realize it was blur that was the problem until I stumbled across that svn entry (I thought it was something else because I was running 4.3 beta).  I turned it off and my problems went away.

Hm you were right! I was so sure I hadn't enabled blur from the start, but now I can see it. When it's enabled = glitches. Disabled = just fine.

Sorry I didn't have the facts right and thanks.
