Hi folks,
I noticed something weird but I'm not sure what to even search for to
get a fix. When I play a video with Seamonkey or Firefox, then close
the tab or close the browser, the video is still there. If the video
contains text, it is really noticeable. It's like a freeze frame of
what ever was there when I closed the tab or browser. It does this in
both Seamonkey and Firefox. The video affects my desktop wallpaper or
background, Konsole, Kpatience, and any other program I have open. It
is weird. Some programs like Konsole, which is running as root, just
sort of distort in some weird way. The only way to correct this
weirdness is to log out of KDE and back in. That returns everything
back to normal. Closing the app I was using to play the video does not
work.
If I use Firefox and download helper to capture the video and save it, I
can play the video with Smplayer with no ill effects. It plays and
closes just fine. It's just when I use Seamonkey or Firefox that this
happens.
I have upgraded the kernel and had upgrades to both Seamonkey and
Firefox. I have recompiled the nvidia drivers as well. The nvidia
drivers, kernel and other info is here:

I have not tried a emerge -e world yet. I may do that when KDE 4.6.3 is
released.
Does anyone have any clue as to what could cause this? If you need more
info, let me know.
Thanks.
