melting fonts in kde

this doesn't happen when using kde apps in openbox. i tried disabling desktop effects, but that had no effect on the situation (might have made it worse, in fact).

any ideas?

Re: melting fonts in kde

i'll take any wild guesses, or better yet, if there's a proper name for the problem, that would be helpful. thanks.

I don't know what's the name either, but it happens to me too.. i changed my accel method in my xorg.conf and it's ok for now (thought it takes some time for the problem to appear)

'font artifacts'? could that be what it's called?

a google search for font artifacts and kde4 seem to produce a lot of bug reports, some suggesting that the problem with be solved by a next update of qt4.whatever. i'm just an end user, so i'm a bit gun shy about going into it further. when i start looking into this kind of thing, i get a bit like this guy...
