Intel is giving problems? This's unlikely. This has to be a Debian bug.

No, that would not be surprising at all.
I assume dE was being sarcastic but that doesn't really help me.

I accept your opinion that the Intel driver are less than optimal but, on the other hand, they've worked flawlessly under Squeeze with KDE, so we've got a regression somewhere.

In order to avoid ping-pong between KDE, kernel, and xorg, it would be already helpful to get instructions on how to pin down the issue in one of the 3 areas. And as KDE is the first one (from a user perspective) to fail without saying where, I would start there to make him spit more information. My question is how? (I'm computer literate but no C/C++/debug guru).

Thanks, Eric

PS: after some days of practical experience, shutting off compositing didn't really help after all, the issue is still there and my user (my wife) is getting upset.
