No sooner had I sent this than I recalled the result of a previous 
experiment I performed trying to get KDE running on 5.2 quite a 
while ago. The default desktop background was set to a particular 
gray color, which when viewed on my monitor caused an *awful* moire 
pattern. This problem went away when I changed the desktop color to 
anything else. Is that your problem?
