Bug Description
After using the system for a short while fonts starts corrupting on screen.
I've reproduced this both with "Desktop Effects" enabled and disabled.
I'm not sure if this is actually trigged by the amount of applications open... its really hard to tell what actually triggers it.
As soon as I "Change Desktop background" -> "Fonts" -> "Details..." and change DPI its like the screen refreshes for looks alright for a while.
This is my graphic card (from lspci):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
I've added the following to the xorg.conf inorder to get my external screen to work:
I'm using Jaunty:

I've attached some screenshots of the problem.

I'm seeing something similar. Certian characters get corrupted and stay that way. It's very persistent and a redraw does not fix it. Also happens without Compiz.
Font settings:
- Subpixel AA (RGB)
- 96 dpi
- Medium hinting
- Other font-settings at defaults

I'm attaching an image which shows the problem.
