NVIDIA lockups after emerging QT

I've noticed a lockup issue that is caused after I emerge qt (it was jsut a rebuild of qt, not an upgrade). My box starts up fine and works pretty well, but when it comes to shutting down it locks up at the points that X is stopped. The lockup problem doesn't happen all of the time, but does happen most of the time.

I am able to fix this issue by re-emerging nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx and doing an 'opengl-update nvidia' (not entirely sure if the opengl-update is needed, but did it just in case).

Does anyone know why this might happen? Do some of the nvidia libraries get trashed when qt is emerged?

Thanks

Hmmm...I don't see why QT would cause a problem here.

You didn't happen to update your kernel anytime recently, did you?

I haven't changed the kernel for a while, been running 2.6.9-r9 for a bit now.

I've been playing around with this a bit more and I can consistently cause this problem to reappear when I do an 'emerge qt', but as soon as I do a 'emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx && opengl-update nvidia' the lockup issues just go away...!?
