Which KDE version are you using? It seems not to depend on the KDE version. I had the latest factory KDE beta2 by the time I reported the bug, but now I have downgraded to the stable upstream release repo for more stability.
Which graphics card and which driver? I have an Intel graphic card: "Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset" With a self-compiled intel driver because of the bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615649#c45 This driver downgrade was the only solution to get this bug fixed since SUSE has not provided any update for that issue. Since it solved my problem at that time, I don't think that it is very much related to this reported bug.
Does this happen only recently (after a special update) or since the installation? It happened a first time after an update (I have the update repo and had the factory KDE repo as well at that time). Some days/weeks later it got fixed. The trouble has reappeared when I have added the X11 repo[1]. Meanwhile I removed that repo and downgraded all the concerned packages because it was a real mess (X remained black). The blank preview issue, however, reappeared.
[1] The updated was recommended to me because KDE freeze everytime when I change any desktop effect setting in the control center. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
