Comment 79 for bug 278471

I too have this problem when updating from the opensuse build service as of today. I also have Version 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080828)) "release 32.4" I have a dell d620 with a docking station connected to an external monitor through DVI. The monitor does not do this under ICEWM. The laptop display is fine and does not do this. Basically, every 10 seconds, the external monitor display goes off and then comes back on after another second.
