Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdm

When using kde 4.5 through backport repo on kubuntu 10.04 clicking logout scrambles the screen, making login near impossible. I am using the proprietary ati driver through "hardware drivers" on an ati 4200 HD onboard graphics card.

Furthermore, if I drop to a tty and login as normal user, and sudo service kdm stop and then start it (I think I used startx) your terminal will be in root mode.

Not sure if the last part is 100% accurate as I did it a few days ago, will edit if I can test again and have time
