hmm are you using kde4? if so i suspect a plasma update problem iirc
i had as well.
I believe you should be able to change your driver setting and use 
ati instead of fglrx and chenge your kde setting, then turn back to fglrx.

In any case a "drastic" solution that should always work is to remove
plasma configuration files from your home.
Don't login in runlevel 5 (to be sure you can switch to runlevel 3 with init 3,
but it's unnecessary) switch to a console login (ctrl-alt-f1 for instance) and
log as root, i experienced some configuration file back logging in as me,
and go to your home (cd ~yournick/.kde4/config) and run
find . -name "*plasma*" | xargs rm
Above command removes all *plasma* files so be sure not to be in the wrong 
filesystem position ;)
Logout and login again in runlevel 5, good luck.
