If I disable composite in kde4 systemsettings it works fine.. :(

 Seems to me like this is more of a problem with your setup , X server and maybe KDE , since it also happens with xine it's probably not a Kopete issue.
 You should probably report this somewhere else , and make a more detailed description of your hardware and software , it helps. Maybe search through the kde bugs or online if someone else has the same problem.

Since it happens with Xine (and, according to the Novell bug, lots of other applications as well), this is almost certainly a driver issue.
