I do not know that it is KDE that is the problem -- personally I do not use KDE or Gnome -- but the machine in question has a number of oddities
1: Cursor kept disappearing; changed to software cursor and now OK. Seems that was a hardware bug on the motherboard
2: xdm or kdm will not run directly from booting in level5. Every character typed causes the screen resolution to change. Booting at level3, and running kdm from a room window seems to overcome this!
3: Audacity always crashes on exit, and on use of a plugin or effect. This works OK on my AMD64x2 on my desk, except that spectral display fails on all 64bit AMD machines in the latest version (OK on last version)
That all sounds like a graphics driver problem. I and many others here have KDE on 64 bit dual core and sing../lib64/firefox/firefox.shle core machines and neither glitch 1 or 2. I can't comment on audacity.
Those are the most annoying things so far.
I should repeat that I run another AMD64x2 and my home machine is AMD64 as well (pre-dual core), and apart from the loss of flash in browsers is no problem. And the only loss in flash is not having the graphs for the cricket matches.
Flash should work since it runs inside a 32 bit nspluginviewer binary that we ship, in Konqueror. It works in firefox as well but I don't know what the mechanism used there is.
