Version: 4.2.1 (using KDE 4.2.0) Compiler: the default on openSUSE 11.0 OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I want to stop a kde session by using the standard mean for that. When I clicked the button 'Abmelden' nothing happens anymore. I only see that the desktop is very unresponsive and I still may use other applications. I shut the X-Server down with 'init 2'. I found the following processes with 'ps x': PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 3954 tty1 Ss 0:00 -bash 6325 ? Sl 0:00 ksmserver 6327 ? Z 0:01 [kwin] <defunct> 6364 ? Z 0:00 [nepomukserver] <defunct> 6369 ?

But when I logged in and tried to logout again, nothing happened anymore as described above.
This may be related to bug 185419
I have been told, this may be an issue with the NVidia driver for Linux. A system showing the same error, but not mine, did not show the bug anymore with the driver 180.37 on a 64 bit openSUSE 11.1. Will check this out on a openSUSE 11.0 with 32 bit.
It is a problem with the NVidia driver for Linux. Version 180.29 and 180.37 work. 180.35 does not.
