IIRC Suse installed both by default

A quick search for 'kde bkack screen opensuse' shows a few links to
kde.org forums 
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=33878

from Feb 2009.  Just searching on 'kde black screen' will show some
kubuntu links to same problem.

Would Gnome and KDE use the same device driver?  If it's the 
device driver and both use it there may be no improvement
and sadly a search 'gnome black screen' shows some results.

The nVidia linux support forums might be a useful read :

Good luck!
