Okay, it's that, sorry for the noise. I didn't try the shortcut, didn't
think of it. I am using Intel HD Graphics.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)

The information panel is always active in my settings, don't know which
tooltips you are talking about. And I didn't experience dolphin crashes
in the rc's.

Another thing I noticed: Whenever I navigate to audiocd:/ and copy the
MP3 folder, dolphin crashes and doesn't start the copy. When I do it
again, it works.

xbindkeys runs and I can launch everything from it - except KDE
applications - and even some of those seem to work. In particular, two
settings in xbindkeys fail:

"dolphin"


  mod4 + f

"/usr/bin/qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock"
  mod4 + l

I need to kill xbindkeys and start it again for those bindings to work.
It gets weirder, because sometimes I have to restart it twice. As I
said, I cannot make sense of the problem - running any of those commands
from Alt+F2 or from konsole always works (except dolphin segfaulting, of
course).
