Just got an update of KDE on Aug 23, and afterwards, I was having a lot of 
trouble with overlapping windows and window focus.  Essentially, when two 
windows would overlap on a desktop I was looking at, they would usually 
(probably 60% of the time) start flickering as soon as the mouse got over one 
of them.  By flickering, I mean that focus would switch from the upper window 
to the lower window quite rapidly, my CPU usage would go through the roof, 
and it would be hard to do anything with the system.  Switching to another 
desktop would cause the problem to cease, but upon returning to the desktop 
with the overlapping windows, it would start again.  The one action that I 
have taken that seems to have caused this behaviour to cease, is that I 
turned off the focus follow mouse feature.  It really sucks, because I like 
that feature, but hopefully this is just a bug with the current release of 
KDE that will be fixed soon.  Can anyone else who is running my version of 
KDE verify that this is a problem?
