I meant, why would it be fine with Qt/Mozilla apps but not others? That 
implies there is something special about these apps (or perhaps their 
window icons since I don't know what else plasma would be dealing with). 
Or do you mean that the gtk app running alongside an argb window does 
Bad Things?

Oh, wouldn't surprise me, nvidia's drivers in general seem to be crap 
;-). I'd really like to know, given that this falls under very and 
consistently reproducible, if anyone else can reproduce it. The basic 
variables are f9-i686 + nvidia blob drivers.
