Solved = downgraded to working state

Guys,

        The dialog that caused the screen to scramble was the darn 'kupdater' 
dialog at
the top of the screen that tells you there are updates (even though there aren't
any). I solved the display corruption problem by downgrading to:

xorg-x11-driver-input-7.6-98.1.i586.rpm
xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-162.1.i586.rpm
xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-111.6.i586.rpm
xorg-x11-server-extra-7.6_1.9.3-111.6.i586.rpm
xorg-x11-server-sdk-7.6_1.9.3-111.6.i586.rpm

        So it looks like the problem was in either:

xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-115.1.i586.rpm
xorg-x11-driver-video-7.6-170.1.i586.rpm

from the xorg repo. Strange, I haven't seen this type of behavior with display
corruption since the kde2 days... or with radeonhd drivers I build myself :)
