Not in this context. It isn't a KDE application but is starts a lot of them.

When you launch a KDE application stand-alone, can you check if dcopserver is 
running?

There is a Debian bug report [1] about this now.

I am going to submit the archive reference of this thread and the one from 
kde-linux as additional information.

Would be interesting to know if non-nvidia users are experiencing this as 
well, IIRC so far all reporters seem to use NVidia cards (with different 
drivers though)

Cheers,
Kevin
