Sounds like something in KDE is writing to X.  Could be a clock 
(although you said it seems ramdomly-timed, so that's unlikely), a 
status monitor dock app, biff, or something like that.  Make sure any 
and all apps that update their displays (even if in a hidden toolbar) 
are turned off/removed from the display.
