Description Mad Fish 2010-03-31 16:38:49 UTC

Version:           KDE 4.4.2 (using KDE 4.4.1)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

It looks like a graphics bug. Instead of black screen it shows my desktop, possibly with some graphics artifacts (imagine a graphics buffer, that has not been cleared and parts of it has been used afterwards for other things - that is how it looks like). Also it doesn't appear immediately - usually after some time.

This is not a huge problem, but it is privacy disclosure anyway.

P.S. Using NVIDIA binary drivers on Arch Linux x86_64.
