I don't think it is only related to KDE and nvidia driver, some here
on the list said that it's a known bug in Xorg. For me the problems
with corrupted pictures, performance and other bugs has gotten better
with later versions of KDE and nvidia but they are still there.
Kubuntu Intrepid with KDE 4.2.0 and Nvidia 180.18.
