I see this as well; I "assumed" it was because of my frontend in the
living room using a cruddy Mach64 with the Gatos drivers.  What do you
have for hw and sw?  My laptop with Radeon 7500 doesn't show this.

I see this as well, I just minimize all the other windows on the
"production box" until someone has time to fix it.
