Hahah yeah I am waiting for her to google for my name one day and see 
this post. It was really just a silly example off the top of my head. =]

That is sort of what I was thinking. I figured it was either that or 
perhaps something to do with KDE sessions. I have not really used any 
other window managers so I can't say if it happens while using gdm or xdm.

It does not seem to be specific to any particular video card either 
since this happens on multiple machines.
