            Bug ID: 353385
           Summary: Most KDE applications/utilities stop displaying
                    correctly
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.14.1
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs

                    d-Xorg-or-windowing-problem
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR

As you will see from the image here
(https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/509011-Weird-Xorg-or-windowing-problem)
KDE apps/utils start messing up their display area.

If I don't move them they look fine. When I move them or the data in them
changes they mess up their display of their contents.  It's clear that the area
is writing over itself without clearing out what's being displayed already  so
you get this continual degrading of what you can read in the area of the app. 

Non-KDE apps don't seem to have this problem as you can see on the image as
well. Above the image is a little explanation of what is on the image.

My guess is there is something underlying that's common to all the KDE apps
windowing that's messing up. QT perhaps?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I suspect you won't be able to reproduce it without my set up which is a
little extreme however I am most happy to do whatever you need to give you the
diagnostic information you need.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
KDE apps start messing up their display.

Expected Results:  
KDE apps don't start messing up their display.

This doesn't happen instantly. It starts after about 30 minutes of use (it
varies). 

Some  system specs:
  Processor: i7-5960X CPU @ 3.00GHz
  OS: Linux 3.16.7-24-default openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64)
  KDE: 4.14.9
  Graphics card: HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Graphics
  Displays: 6 displays arranged in 3 across by 2 down. Each 2560 x 1440 pixels.
  Desktop area: 7680 x 2880
