kde-3.5.6 crashing

I installed kde-3.5.6 over-3.5.5 and it crashes alot. :-(
Everything shuts down and I get the KDE login screen.
It happens when I am using firefox and it crashes.
It crashes alot but it never used to bring down KDE before.
There are no messages, the screen goes black and then the KDE login screen appears.
I'm going to reinstall the nvidia display driver.

I use Gentoo with a self-compiled firefox on an AMD64.

RE: kde-3.5.6 crashing

I recompiled firefox and the gnash plugin and it hasn't crashed yet, knock on wood. :-)

It just crashed. :-(
It seems to crash less, it is unpredictable.
I did get a dialog when KDE restarted
"...KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify...
Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output...".
I wonder if ALSA is causing my crashes.

Anything useful in the file ~/.xsession-errors ?

~/.xsession-errors seems to be overwritten because KDE/X restarts automatically.
I think it was due to the gnash firefox plugin.
I haven't had any crashes since I deleted that (yet). :-)
