[Bug 338669] Re: (Needs UXA) painting artifacts after qt4.5 upgrade on intel chipset

[Viktor Ferenczi]

Something similar also happens to me since I installed Ubuntu 9.04 amd64
(clean installation).

OS: Ubuntu 9.04 amd64, up to date
CPU: Intel Q6600 CPU
System RAM: 8G
Graphics card: 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT [10de:0402] (rev a1)
Video RAM: 256M RAM

I'm using the proprietary nVidia drivers (v180), but it does not seem to be the cause.
Reverting to the older v173 drivers does not change the situation.

I'm using GNOME, but have to use KMail as well, since I've been using
that for years and can't live without those filters and accounts. KMail
is badly affected by repaint artifacts, unfortunately. I've also
observed the same problem in SkyPE 2.1.0.47 and in the menus/context
menus of Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14.

I'm going to attach a screenshot of broken KMail mail list view.

The bug is listed as "Fix Released" here, but updating my system does
not solve the problem.

Is there a way to get it fixed without completely upgrading to Karmic
Koala?
