Group,
I have recently played with the 1.9.79 and now the 1.9.87 releases. I've noticed something (actually it's very hard *not* to notice) that I would like to pin down.
When I pass the mouse over the icons in the toolbar and over buttons in dialogs, the icons and buttons will flicker off and on rapidly. It's like the rendering is slow or something. If you move the mouse rapidly, you can actually see the buttons and icons disappearing and then re-appearing. When I do this, the CPU activity spikes as well.
My system is: Fedora Core 3, 2.6.10-(something) 770 kernel, 1.5 GHz P4, 256 MB ram, Nvidia GeForce2 video card on the generic nv driver.
I'm tempted to think part of the problem is that I need to install the proprietary nvidia video driver, but I haven't had any issues with previous releases of OOo or any other software for that matter.
Any clues?

More info: This only happens under KDE. The icons and buttons etc. are fine if I run it under a Gnome session.
Another (minor) issue with OOo and KDE is that the Writer component isn't installed in the KDE menu system. The other components are installed OK, just Writer is missing. It's not a huge deal to add it manually of course, but it does seem weird. And once again, this turns out not to be an issue when using Gnome. Although, come to think of it, an earlier release of OOo installed some items in Gnome, some items in KDE, but not the same items. I was missing Calc under Gnome and Writer under KDE. This all seems sort of random to me.
