At first, was thought that this bug could be a variant of this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477095 But I tried the patch and it didn't work.
What graphics hardware/driver?
Xorg identifies it as: Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]" But actually it is a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700: Chipset Model: ATY,RV360M11 Type: Display Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) as detected by Mac Os System profiler. I am using radeon driver.
ping? is this another video driver issue that we can't resolve or something we need to look into.

looks legit, now that we have multiple folks seeing this.
Thank you for the bug report. This issue needs to be addressed by the upstream developers. Please submit a report at http://bugs.kde.org. You are requested to add the bugzilla link here for tracking purposes. Please make sure the bug isn't already in the upstream bug tracker before filing it.
not specific for ppc architecture
Re comment #8 , Can you elaborate ?
I have followed this bug during the Fedora 10 cycle. Now, with an up-to-date Fedora 11 installation KDE works fine on my PowerBook G4. My only wish right now is an update to Qt 4.5.2 since it fixes the inverted colors on icons.
Kde works perfectly only with GDM. When KDM is used it won´t start. I have Fedora 11 x86-64 on HP6910p notebook.

Woo, OK, let's consider this general kde4/ppc problem solved. Any new/different ppc-related issues (like comment #11), please open a new bug.
