igoogle image artifact when in external monitor

[Albert Vilella]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When using the external monitor for the laptop, every time I click on a google reader news with an image on the iGoogle applet, the image in the bubble bounces by about 10 pixels left and right for 6 times in about 2 seconds in the rectangle corresponding to the other widget below (see samsung logo shifted to the right in the image link below).

This doesn't happen if the image is not overlapping the other applet behind, or if there is no image, only text in the overlapping area, or if I use the main laptop screen instead of the external screen.

To add more info to the bug, this does not happen when using the nvidia drivers on the same conditions. This laptop has an intel graphics card and an nvidia card that can be switched with a cold reboot.

did this get fixed by driver updates in the meantime? otherwise we should move the bug to xorg intel driver package. its not a ffox issue as it seems.
