[Kst] kst-1.1.0 and svn HEAD X Errors

[Ted Kisner]

Mark,
  just out of curiosity, did you recently change from xfree86, or have you 
been using xorg for a while?  Do you have an nvidia graphics card (I do)?  I 
wonder if something about the graphics acceleration got f**ked up in the X 
server switch...
