Do you get the same symptoms with the free (i.e. nonproprietary) drivers?
Yes.
Sequence so far, all off which exhibited the problem: Kubuntu 12.10, onboard ATI, FOSS Kubuntu 13.04 beta, onboard ATI, FOSS Kubuntu 13.04 beta, nVidia G210, FOSS Kubuntu 13.04 beta, nVidia G210, Proprietary
Each step was an attempt to improve things, each has failed (so far!).
Wierd.
The only obvious common element there is KDE. What happens if you boot from a live CD/DVD/USB stick with another desktop (say Xubuntu 13.04)?
Also what is the full command line shown for Xorg (running htop, ps -ef or ps aux or pressing "c" in top will show more detail than bare top alone). Maybe the KDE display manager is playing up.
