I find this happens to me on my Desktop and it happens, I suspect, as
the result of not having enough RAM and/or cpu power to render the
graphics when some application is also grabbing the cpu. With me it
almost always Firefox which has such "stripped" graphics and as I have
my Thunderbird set to check for mail every couple of minutes what seems
to happen is that if I switch to a new a web page, and while this is
loading, TB goes for mail and then distributes it to the mail folders
this causes a 'roadblock' on the bus and the graphics are distorted. If
you see what I mean :-) .
What happens if you refresh the page when those "strips" appear? What
could be hogging your cpu (if using Gnome, System>Administration>System
Monitor)?
