[Bug 214692] Re: scrolling in evolution or firefox (or others) create glitches on the window

[RollingFred]

Beat me.
I've been dealing with this issue since Ubuntu 7.10 upgrading each time
hoping it would be fixed.
My Ubuntu 8.04 machine is my work machine, I'm developing on it everyday and
the glitch is annoying especially when doing demo.

I really hope it gets fixed soon...
