Description g_fretes 2011-04-30 05:33:42 UTC 
Version:           4.6.2 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Steps to reproduce:
- Start Konsole
- If you have a nVidia card with a nvidia videocard (driver v. 270 in my case), drag a corner of the Konsole window to resize it (or click the maximize button)
- The system will now crash (75% of the time)

Actual Results:  
Total Xserver crash. Not response from the kernel to scape buttons

If the X server crashes, it is a bug in the video drivers (or, unlikely, the X server itself). Please report this bug directly to NVIDIA developers at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14
