SLI users, is this normal: Right clicking on the nVidia Control Panel makes screen flicker off/on?

I am helping someone out and he has two 6800 Ultras. I have them in SLI mode using an A8N-SLI Deluxe. Whenever I right click on the nVidia Control Panel icon in the system tray the monitor flickers as though it is being turned off and then back on again.

I am using a KVM switch with a VGA to DVI adapter. I don't know how much this is playing a role but I've done the Google thing and I've actually come up empty handed. If anyone can give some advice, I'd be grateful!

Same thing happens here, but I'm on a GeForce4 Ti 4400 (waiting for 8800GTS + other parts to come in)

I dont have a KVM, but my 2 7800 GT cards do the same thing. Also, in most games, if I alt-tab to the desktop and go back into the game, half of the game screen is off and the other half is on. If I disable SLI and use one card no issues at all.
