Description Paolo Bonzini 2009-09-12 17:55:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since yesterday I had problems logging in graphically until I stashed away my ~/.gconf.  I now tried going through .gconf and applying old settings, and found that the culprit is desktop effects.  As soon as I enable it from preferences indeed the X server crashes or something like that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.6.3-4

How reproducible:
100% on my hardware

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bring up the Desktop Effects preferences
2. Enable it
  
Actual results:
Crash.

Expected results:
No crash.

Additional info:
OpenGL works (I tried with neverball).

I'm attaching the diff of /var/log/rpmpkgs from Sep 7th to now.

May be this bug is related with my problem with starting KDE after updating xorg to
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586

Looks like KDE starting interrupts at the time when enabling Desktop effects.

KDE starts after downgrade xorg to
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.i586

I am using nvidia driver from rpmfusion.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

My drivers are standard, lspci gives

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Here is an Xorg.log (just to show my drivers, it is from a successful load).
