Bug Description

I'm testing the 8.10 version, actually in beta version, on a DELL D610 laptop.
Quite often, when I launch an application (such as Firefox, Thundirbird, OpenOffice, ...), I can see in the main window application some zebra/crazzy display for something less than one second. After this time everything come back in a normal world. It was not so easy to get a snapshot, but I get finally one with Firefox (see attached file).

It's not really an heavy problem, cause it works anyway, but it's rather a problem of quality perception other there.
To get the better impact for Unbuntu progression other the world, I think it's important to try to fix this one prior to the release delivery.

Of course you can ask me more detail if needed concerning my hardware or anything else.

Kris
