@Martin:

If I recall, it didn't show up in my G4 iBook with Radeon card either.
This is PM 3,1 with ATI Rage 128 video card. I'm in MATE 16.04 right now
and the desktop image(s) continue to have the problem; and logging into
Yahoo Mail with the blank white space, it shows as concentric circles in
various shades of white, instead of clean single sheet of color.
When I posted this bugz I don't think apport was working, but, if that
would help I could try to flip that data up?
Also, a couple days ago I was able to burn the liveDVD of the Beta1 daily
in MATE, and maybe today I'll get a chance to boot the iBook and test it
out.
