Rex:
Yes, disabling desktop effects allows me to start KDE normally. Oddly
enough, I seem to be able to re-enable desktop effects (when running
in normal mode) without ill effect (no pun intended).
This worked under Fedora 13/KDE 4.4. I have an nVidia GTS 250 and am
running the 260.19.12 driver (same driver under F13, but the old
2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 kernel rather than the 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64
of F14).
Where should I start looking? Is there some place that kwin spits out a log?

It's almost certainly video (driver) related, esp if 'failsafe' mode
(which essentially disables desktop effects) makes it better.
