i reported exactly the same problem (see #667).
i was told it was my fault.
i spent about a week trying to fix it with X server upgrades and config
changes.
i could not fix it - so have learnt to live with it.

for me it happens on at least two different frontends - an AMD64 desktop
machine with a 20" display and my laptop.
one uses NVidia and the other ATI.

so i don't know where to go from here.

so a rather longwinded me too!
