I can confirm this bug with the current nvidia(-glx-new) driver (169.12), kernel 2.6.24.16 and a 7950 card (or something like this x) ). Compiz is enabled. Oh and i run Kubuntu Hardy (the KDE3 "version") 32bit here by the way.
I also found this bug which seems kind of related to this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183715
Additionaly I had this bug in two other situations: After finishing an update with Adept and after closing ZSNES from fullscreen. Unfortunately I don't know whether these crashes have the same reason as the Kopete problem.
Another wild guess from a kernel+driver-hacking noob: While looking up the kernel and driver version to post them here, I noticed some differences; according to apt-cache I have the following versions:
linux-image-2.6.24-generic: 2.6.24-16.30
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-generic: 2.6.24.12-16.34
nvidia-glx-new: 169.12+2.6.24.12-16.34 (matches the restricted modules, but not the kernel image, does it?)
I always thought that kernels and drivers are very sensitive to version differences... or is this normal? As said, just my two cents ^_^".
