Description Henrik Hudson 2008-10-03 09:00:40 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                FreeBSD
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports

OS: FreeBSD 7.1-PRE i386
graphics: AGP based nVidia with binary drivers

When going into "System Settings" -> Desktop and enabling the Desktop Effects X crashes back to the login screen.

However, Desktop Effects are in fact now enabled and work great. I am unable to get the system to crash. 

Yet, when I go back to edit "System Settings" -> Desktop to view the settings X crashes again to the login screen. I've been using vi and editing kwinrc to enable / disable options while logged out.

my kwinrc file

I've made numerous changes here using vi from the console while logged out and am unable to make the desktop crash. Just when selecting the "Desktop Settings"

If a crash takes you back to the login screen then it is X that crashed and not KDE. After you reproduce the crash please upload your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old here. Also your ~/.xsession-errors after the session might be useful.

Your X crashes -> not a KDE bug (unless the X developers say otherwise). Please report to X.org.
