I have been looking at several forums and doing a lot of Google-ing about this bug these last few days and it seems to me that:

1. Many people have been affected by this with their legacy cards.
2. It manifests itself with many different applications..OOv3, Opera, K3b, GoogleEarth....
3. There are several proposed "fixes" such as anti-aliasing, turn off compositing, the one above from TexasRanger.
4. Some work for some and not for others.
5. For me (Geforce4 MX440 card with 96beta driver on Intrepid) I changed my xorg.conf file to

Option "RenderAccel" "False"
or
Option "RenderAccel" "0"

in the Section "Device".
