--- Comment #5 from publicface at bak.rr.com ---
I've been able to fix ksnapshot (I didn't know how to force a reinstall - now I
do).  

So since as I mentioned I already restarted kdm (and by inference, the X
server) this problem can't be further explored at this time, what other
tools/procedures should I be prepared with next time it happens?

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
dmesg
xwininfo

Anything else?

For the record, the reason I reported it here is due to a discussion with
someone else.  And I quote: "I moved away from ATi/AMD altogether to nvidia
because of the constant screen corruption issues on both the open source and
proprietary drivers".

Since changing cards isn't an option at this time, reporting the problem is a
bit easier.  It doesn't happen often, but it does happen every now and then.

Me personally I'm not interested in blaming anyone or anything.  I don't care
where the bugs are, other than in terms of getting them fixed.  Since
restarting kdm is almost as extreme as rebooting, I would like to see a way to
reset the screen without having the net effect of being logged out.  I don't
know if that's something that could be accomplished in the driver, or where
exactly it could be done.
