I have this same problem too. It happens only with 24 bit color depth; with 16 bits the problem is gone. I think it is related to the Vesa video driver.
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-vesa I have an old PCI Vodoo Banshee card that uses this driver, and the virtual installation of the OP probably uses Vesa as well. The fun thing is that it only affects a few windows, but most of them look just fine. It's like if the application, (or the WM or the X server) draws the window into an offscreen buffer at 24bpp and then it blits into the screen as if 32bpp (or the other way around?)... PS: the "xfce4-terminal" also has this effect.
