I hate it when that happens.  Isn't there a way to make Kompose use
OpenGL, which should use a standard way of using the graphics card? 
Unless you've got a really bad card (worse than a GeForce 2) you
should be able to do that...  I have a little iMac G3 that does Expose
really fast using just a tiny 16 meg ATI chip.  It shouldn't be
impossible, though it might involve some interesting "back-door"
hacks.

Kompose is in any event a thing that I've by now installed and am thoroughly
addicted to, so whatever things I can do to help it I'll try to the
best of my abilities if I would be of any help (I'm not that good with
KDE/Linux/OpenGL/H T&L at all, so I would very easily be more
hinderance than help.)  The bright side is that recognising your
weaknesses and problems is half the part of fixing them, so I'm
already halfway there : )
