Cronometer crashes my kde sessions.  It works fine in gnome. 

http://spaz.ca/cronometer/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cronometer: 0.95

Cronometer worked fine in KDE 4.2.2.  It started crashing in KDE 4.2.3.  I initially reported it in early June, 2009 with the following.

$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-180.51-1.fc10.5.i686

$ rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-4.2.3-1.fc10.i386


How reproducible:

It was every time until yesterday.   Yesterday I ran cronometer with no
problems.   Today it crashed the session again.

I believe the problem appeared with kde 4.2.3.  It ran fine on kde 4.2 before
that. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install cronometer
2. Run it.   
3. Move the application around a bit.


Actual results:

It looks like it corrupts the redrawing of the screen.  Mouse function is
affected too... or at least it seems to be.  Maybe its just a redraw thing.

The only way to save the machine from crashing outright is to immediately exit
the session.

I believe cronometer uses the Swing library.   Are other Swing applications
experiencing the same problem ?

Expected results:

It should run without crashing the session.

I initially reported the bug here.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504173  They dismissed it as an nvidia problem because that was the bug flavor of the month, but we've had several KDE and nvidia releases since then and its still a problem.
