I use unstable, so its not been patched. But it seems reasonable that such a 
bug could be triggered only with KDE.

Speaking of XF86 4.2, I would really like to be running it for the driver 
support for my card. So I was thinking of making a .deb from the source, just 
to prevent dependency problems. Obviously this .deb wouldn't follow any of the 
Debian conventions. Any ideas on this?
