KDE 4 exposes quite a bit of functionality within X and chipset drivers that other software doesn't. Try KDE 4 with Intel or nVidia and you'll see that the only variable is the graphics drivers. You might get some issues with nVidia but at least they have a habit of updating their drivers and not leaving some chipsets in the lurch.
Personally, I don't know how you haven't seen other issues other than with KDE 4, especially with an integrated chipset (IGP). Accelerated video (Xv) for one thing is extremely bad with ATI and totally non-existant for IGPs.
