This definitely is a driver bug.

In fact, there appears to have been a commit to the intel driver just
today (or yesterday, depending on the timezone you live in :P)
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=c889b34e432198d5410a068eff3089ff5314ac27


So I suppose this will probably be an issue until the next upstream
release of the driver. Maybe the Ubuntu X people would know more about
these things? Xorg isn't really a Kubuntu specialty, although we do
know how to push things off towards them quite well. ;-)

Good luck,

Jonathans? and they all spell their name the same? Creepy)
