Dual-head display (Matrox G450, Xinerama, 1280x1024 on each screen).
The problem appeared immediately after migrating from drapper 6.06 to edgy 6.10
When moving a window fast enough on the secondary screen, the "trailing" effect behind the window is not erased from the desktop and leaves random patterns behind (on the desktop background). When moving the window very slowly, the problem does not happen.
Displaying then closing any window, or moving a window very slowly on the garbled desktop properly repaints the desktop background.
When moving a window over another window, the underneath window always repaints properly (i.e. doesn't endup garbled).
This never happens on the primary screen.
A much less frequent form of the problem is that once in a while, a graphical object is painted garbled in an application window (for instance, the Google logo in Firefox). In this case, the garbled spot is exactly the rectangle that should have contained the graphical object.
Problem has simply disappeared today, I can't reproduce it - even after trying hard.
I have no idea why it went away (nor what created in the first place, apart from the upgrade to edgy, since it appeared at this time).
Before I reported it, I had made sure it wasn't a one-shot glitch I could fix: I checked a bunch of various issues including xorg.log (there was no error nor anything unusual there), rebooted the machine a couple of times just to make sure this wasn't a temp upgrade glitch, etc.
I'm just puzzled.
As far as I'm concerned, Bug #68968 can be considered closed.
I apologize for the trouble :-( /Ph.
