I mean that some window aspects are effected. It seems that the resizing of windows is effected on everything: firefox for example. The update manager window looks ok; but the password window, for that application is white, but working. Even shutting off the nVidia driver has not fixed the problem.

I'm ready to move back to FC 11. Brian On Wed, 2009-12-09 at 12:31 -0800, Allen Brown wrote: > By sporadic do you mean occasional programs run into it but > those programs always run into it?
