Screen contamination

[gene heskett]

Greetings folks;

I have a problem.  Anytime I spend some time watching a news video on say 
fox or cnn's sites, I wind up with screen background contamination in my 
console windows of other workspaces.  Bit and pieces show up on the bottom 
half of such a terminal window, remain stationary on the screen as the 
terminal window is moved about, but are constrained by the border when the 
terminal is moved, but comes right back as soon as the terminal windows 
border encompasses that area of the screen again.

Using FF4.0 and a pclos repo supplied kernel version 2.6.38.2, on pclos, on 
a quad core phenom, 4Gb of dram, and the latest .44 version of the dkms 
installed nvidia-current driver on a 9400 series nvidia card.

FWIW, I recall seeing that also when I switched to the vesa driver, so 
while it could be related, I am dubious.

What can I do to facilitate narrowing this down?

Thanks.
