Take off your rose colored glass.  The KSE developers have warned
about this problem for months.  If nvidia chooses not to update 
their source, complain to nvidia.

Alternatively, you can remove the nvidia drivers and use the nv
driver that come with XFree86.

It's incredibly insulting to me that you have the audacity to 
denigrate the work of the KSE developers.  Julian, Dan, David, and
others have worked for more than 2 years to give us KSE.  I think
someone needs to step off his soap box before he falls.
