Bug Description
With nvidia 290 (and I think some 2XX version before that) after logging out and in again in KDE applications are rendered wrong. In GTK it seems to be mostly the background, resulting in a full-transparent gnome-terminal or white background being shown as black in firefox or thunderbird (see screenshot) and text selection being invisible. Another application that's affected is ksnapshot here (Qt), but I haven't seen a pattern for Qt applications.
reproducability on the 2 PC's I tried this on:
nvidia 290: happens after 1 or 2 tries
nouveau: unreproducable
intel: unreproducable
[Workaround]
1)Instead of just logging out actually restart KDM so X is killed.
2)Uncomment TerminateServer
restart X instead of resetting it.

I am running the latest nvidia beta driver 295.17 and Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.8.0. My card is nvidia geforce go 7400. Same problem here.
Only temporary solution for me was restarting x or restarting the computer.
