Hiya

Thanks for the quick response!

We've been plugging away at this for a while and have managed to resolve 
the problem.

In answer to your questions:
Neither machine is running Beryl or Compiz

It only happened with the nvidia driver, but the nv driver caused the 
machine to fail entirely

The way that we fixed it was to both delete the user's home directory 
and replace the xorg.conf with the one from the working machine.

Both machines have two monitors.  I was using the two screen 
configuration from the 'system settings' control panel (Xinerama), while 
my colleague was using twinview.  It appears that the twin monitor 
configuration from the control panel clobbered something in my home 
directory that caused the problem (possibly in .kde?)

Thanks again for the quick response - if the problem reoccurs I will 
update you.

Cheers

Andy
