screen corruption with rxvt and emacs

[David N. Welton]

Binary package hint: rxvt

I sometimes get screen corruption in rxvt and emacs.

* This isn't just "strange characters", but actual corruption of some kind - it seems like when a lot of text scrolls by, that everything 'piles up' on a couple of lines.

* This didn't happen with the previous release, but is quite prevalent in feisty.

* It could well be that the problem has nothing to do with rxvt, but is some kind of X problem, so for fun I'm including my Xorg log.

Here's a screenshot. The corruption goes away when I drag another window in front of the rxvt window that has been corrupted. As I said in the original bug report, this occasionally happens in emacs, too.

I get this screen junk too in emacs. Ctrl-L makes it go away.
GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2007-11-06 on king, modified by Ubuntu
I've attached my xorg log.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
