I use the proprietary nvidia driver with Fedora core 12 KDE. After
installing I experienced desktop freezing when accessing the KDE menu,
which was solved rather quickly by applying the fix of Rex Dieter:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533620. I had no problems
whatsover with the driver combined with KDE afterwards.
