Paulo, someone on the kde list told me to use EXA acceleration, telling me to
add this

He was unsure, and I couldn't ascertain whether my elderly X600 could
'UseAtomBIOS' so I commented that line out. I've using the laptop for 5 hours
now with Desktop Effects enabled and without a freeze. If you or anyone else
reading is using an ATi card this is worth a try.
Perhaps there are similar AccelMethod entries for Intel cards that deal with
the problem?
