I'm starting to use KDE more now and I noticed something odd. Whenever I enable Kwin effects (openGL) my video card (HD4850) goes into 3D mode 24/7. It does not switch back until I turn the effects off. Bug in the drivers? A strange interaction between Kwin and the drivers perhaps?

Kwin effects forces card into 3D mode

Compiz does not do this, so I find it odd. I also find it interesting that even a simple thing like opening a menu forces the card to 3D clocks, even if no effects are being used. No wonder my poor laptop's battery suffered when I had Kubuntu on the little thing.
