Turning on desktop effects in kde4 (gutsy or hardy, ubuntu or kubuntu) works great (just a little slow) on my inspiron 1420n with geforce 8400m... until i log out or reboot and try to log back in that is. There are no problems with desktop effects until i try to log in again, at which point i get the kde splash screen followed by a blank desktop with a cursor on it, nothing is being drawn. Startup sound and everything plays, and i can move the cursor around no problem. It seems that something is preventing kwin/plasma from drawing my desktop, or something is being drawn over it. Anybody have any knowledge of this problem? How can i turn the desktop effects off without deleting my whole .kde dir?
Edit: i once managed to get everything to display properly by pressing alt-f4 at the blank screen, apparently closing whatever window was causing the trouble, but i can not figure out what window that was.
Edit: running kwin from the failsafe console and doing a "ctl-c" after the blank screen comes up yeilds

Where i assume the problem is probably
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
Resource id: 0xe00028
and the rest is likely a backtrace from my killing kwin, but i do not know what this means or what could be causing it since the effects work fine until a login.
Edit: i once managed to get everything to display properly by pressing alt-f4 at the blank screen, apparently closing whatever window was causing the trouble, but i can not figure out what window that was.
Edit: running kwin from the failsafe console and doing a "ctl-c" after the blank screen comes up yeilds

Where i assume the problem is probably
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
Resource id: 0xe00028
and the rest is likely a backtrace from my killing kwin, but i do not know what this means or what could be causing it since the effects work fine until a login.
