Comment 2 for bug 67237

I was able to work around it by reinstalling Edgy from scratch. That tells me
it's some kind of configuration issue or interaction between different pieces
of software, not an inherent bug in KDE/kwin.

The only time I have to use the Ctl-Alt-Backspace to get everything started up
is on an older laptop of mine. The newest nVidia drivers expect all nVidia
chipsets to supply EDID information, which this laptop does not support. So
X kind of drools on itself when it first starts up, but killing and
restarting it, everything is fine.

Hope you find a solution!
