Well considering KDE4 isn't for general-user usage atm that is a strong possibility
KDE4.1 (due in June/July) is ment for genera-user usage. KDE4.0.# (kde4.0.3) is the present build of the kde4.0 series which is ment for developers of kde4 software get a hands-on with the desktop
At present (kde-svn) the panel is still kinda b0rked layout-wise, there is a task manager, but no systray
The last release (kde4.0.2) had issues with plasma's
Also KDE4 is a 2D/3D mashup desktop doing its own composite thing
Sure there may be issues with these BETA nvidia drivers with a mix 2D,3D desktop but testing on a desktop that isn't actually ready for mass-usage and calling foul and bad mouthing nvidia is even worse then just bad mouthing nvidia for not having 100% perfect BETA drivers, cause heaven forbid beta drivers having bugs...

the 2d performance on 8800gt, with ANY nvidia driver, is simply horrible, its so slow that its basically useless.. i can smash in a pci card, thats 10 years ago, and get same performance out of the vesa driver..
nvidia is simply doing a horrible job.
