Do I report it to xorg, kde, wine, qt, nvidia or to all and cross reference to everyone? Or can someone suggest a fulcrum that will start the appropriate communication going to the right people?

Dunno if its because of improvements with newer versions of NVidia driver, KDE 4.3.2 or because of qt 4.6.0. In any case. The problem is that the game freezes after awhile. Checked to make sure there wasn't some problem because of the screen resolution and reverted back to 1280x1024 the game still froze. Then I checked if the freeze was caused by an update to the video driver so I reverted back to an older version of the driver which I know that the game played without freezing.. But, unfortunately the game froze again. So I completely switched off kde desktop effects (compositing) and no more freezes.
