Guys,

Here is a strange on. When I logged in as root to check on kpowersave. Different areas of the display background would blank out. This started as soon as I closed the tips dialog. I could move a window around and force a redraw and the background would come back, but then opening another window would case the areas to blank again.

As a normal user -- everything is fine, but if I open a kcontrol module and choose "administrator mode", I get the same behavior. This leads me to believe it is kde3 related and not related to the earlier Xorg bug. Here are a couple of screenshots. The black areas of the background are blank:

What say the experts?

Further investigating suggests that this isn't kde3 at all. It looks like X. I have had this problem on multiple desktops now. Has anyone else seen this on their system when the open up a kcontrol item that has an "Administrator Mode" button (i.e. 'kcmshell kdm') after you press the Administrator Mode button? -- David C.
