Thanks Bruce for your feedback! I will open a new bug Tomorrow. Today I spent some time testing what could be the source of the problem, so I decided to install gdm to check if this issue also appears, or not, using gdm.
After testing that, what I can say is that it seems that there is something wrong in kdm while interacting with X and nvidia drivers (maybe only in 64 bits?) because this is not happening at all in gdm (gdm works like a charm in my kubuntu karmic 64 bits with nvidia 185 driver).
As a kde user, and fan ;), I would rather prefer to use kdm than gdm, which requires to install a lot of gnome packages that otherwise I wouldn't need, but I am afraid that I will have to use gdm for a while until this bug is fixed. As I said before I will open a bug to see if this problem can be fixed as soon as possible, but using gdm can be a good temporal workaround.
