This draws attention to me because until saturday I'm being able to use
X, but after which some menus didn't work, I did dist-upgrade in order
to install some retained packages and I began to have this problem.

Thanks for your reply.

Hmmm, you don't use ~/.xinitrc at all?
Does startkde even get run?

I don't have a Compositing section in the kwinrc file. But even so,
according to log that I send in the initial mail, it seems that would be
activated with "nvidia" driver at least:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is
(II) NVIDIA(0): enabled.

Something that I would add is that with the configuration mentioned in
the first mail of this thread (driver "nvidia"), the screen is black
with thing lateral edge of very tenuous violet colour of the right side
until I press Ctrl+Alt+F1. This way I return to the console and this is
hung until I press Ctrl+C:

By the sight, I don't have it and until saturday it was working thus
without problems.

> Does startkde even get run?

Hmmm... I don't have this command, but startx was triggered the starting
of KDE. But I have the impression that it is a problem with Xorg rather
than KDE. Also I've tried with:

# Xorg -configure
# Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new

But without successful results.

This is the generated xorg.conf.new:
