I think this an Nvidia related issue. See here:

I don't have time to fool with all this stuff. Unfortunately that means
that I won't have a useable folder view. This kind of defeats the whole
paradigm of KDE4 ! 

hwbrowser shows my video card as being a "nVidia Corporation GeForce
8800M GTS" The driver is "nvidia". GL works fine on my computer. 

I think the nvidia-settings application should figure out what nvidia
driver options work with what cards and either apply them or allow the
user to apply them.

I've logged more information on my setup here:

I post this in case someone else is experiencing the same problem.
