Bug Description

Sometimes entire background of desktop (root window) becomes all white, and nothing is visible on the screen.
But still the 3d effects do work.
So I can rotate a 3d cube with buggy-white images... heh.

a) with Xgl - it happens
b) without Xgl - it happens also
c) on KDE it happens all the time
d) it happens sometimes on Gnome

ubuntu 8.04 amd64, nvidia 8600 gt

Uninstall Xgl. Now adays, it will start on it's own if you even have it "installed". The NVIDIA driver has native AIGLX.
