I don't think it is a driver issue more like a KDE window manager issue.

As I said it is hard to describe; the window title bars seem to 
dissapear and all workspaces get crammed into one, the kicker or panel 
deal becomes hidden or useless --like I said chaos. The pointer still 
works with whatever menus are present .

I am using a Radeon 7200 with the stock driver.
