[lug] KDE won't render correctly, but GNOME does!?

> Anyone know what's going on?  She has a NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS
> 285] video card and is displaying on a viewsonic vg2230wm-3 monitor.

Is she using the proprietary NVIDA drivers, or the open source nouveau driver?
Is the card supported by the installed driver?

That Nvidia card is pretty old and now low-end with not much RAM. As someone
else suggested, you may want to turn off compositing and other desktop effects.
