Yes is a warning that is only produced by Non-fatal error handlers in
XLib, it means that a parameter was passed to a function that was
expecting a Pixmap or Window object, but that the parameters value was
not either of those types.  Whilst this suggests something is amiss in
the code somewhere the keyword is Non-fatal.  The fact that you are
seeing the error at all is testament to the fact that it is being
handled, so I wouldn't expect this to be the source of your problems.

I'm not that knowledgeable about KDE these days I'm afraid. I've largely
taken to using Gnome since around 2.0.  It may be worth you while
installing a different windowing environment to isolate the possibility
that it is KDE at fault.  I would suggest that it is still more likely
to be something to do with drivers for your hardware however.
