It's not all perfect, but I'm certainly not seeing plasma as extremely 
unstable.

I suspect that what theme and/or desktop effect is stable on your system might 
depend heavily on your video hardware.  I would seriously suggest that you 
experiment with both, keeping note of what is more stable than others.  A 
combination of that info together with note of your video card and driver 
could be very useful to others.

BTW, I didn't see any mention of either video hardware or driver.  What are 
you using?
