Unfortunately, this backtrace is not much use, and the information it conta=

is mostly rubbish.

I've been using the NVidia drivers since the day they were released, and I'=
ve=20
never seen a KDE crash that could be attributed to them. That's multiple=20
versions of -STABLE and multiple versions of KDE, everything from 3.0.x to=
=20
KDE CVS.    I have seen twice X crash entirely (and in fact, spontaneously=
=20
reboot the machine) apparently from the nvidia drivers, but in both those=20
cases I was playing movies via the tv-out port, and there was no window=20
manager or desktop environment running at all.  Just X, an xterm, and=20
mplayer.  If there's a bad interaction with KDE and the nvidia binary=20
drivers, it apparently isn't affecting all nvidia based cards, making it=20
pretty hard to work on unfortunately :(.

To try:
Does the problem go away entirely if you use the nv drivers?
Does the problem go away if you switch to the "kde-classic" window decorati=
on=20
in KDE?

You'll also probably get more input by asking on kde@freebsd.org
