I am having the exact same problems as others in this post. I originally performed a clean installation of Intrepid with no problems whatsoever. After hearing about all the cool new features of Jaunty, I upgraded, whereupon I have been plagued with plasma problems. At first, it crashed a lot, but then it stopped crashing. Now it just does these weird painting errors that don't detect events properly. Interestingly enough, PlayWolf continues updating correctly (aside from some painting issues) even after everything else dies. The only thing that works at this point is either logging out and back in, or issuing "kquitapp plasma" followed by "plasma&", which will then work for somewhere around a day, give or take. One thing I should add is that I am _not_ using multiple monitors _nor_ am I using amd64.

Specs: Core 2 Duo E7300, ATI HD4670, 4GB ram, and a 23" monitor (1920x1200 resolution seems to consistently work fine).

I'm so disgusted with these plasma crashes I'm getting ready to roll back to Intrepid as it was much, much more stable. Anybody know if a clean install fixes these problems? Oh, and I tried erasing my plasma files and starting over, but that didn't help either.
