Bug Description
Binary package hint: r-base
When desktop effect are enabled, R's data editor is unusable. The window contents are garbled from the start, and when scrolling through the data using the arrow keys the contents of the editor window is not redrawn properly. I have attached a screenshot that shows an editor window after scrolling around a bit. I have verified that the problem exists on two different machines with different video hardware (Intel and ATI)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure desktop effects are enabled.
2. Start R
3. Type:
View(data.
4. In the editor window that appears, use the arrow keys to scroll around. Notice how the contents of the window get increasingly garbled.

I can confirm this behavior on an x86_64 build, but an otherwise similar setup. I'm running the Ubuntu 9.10 version of the Intel graphics driver on a "GM965/GL960" controller.
I did try making an exception for the window decoration and shadows for the R Data Editor window, but the problem persisted.
