I've seen this with X11 a little on FC2 but much more with rgl (maybe 50% of the time with rgl vs 5-10% for X11()). Ross Ihaka tried replacing the default metacity window manager with sawfish and found that the problem seemed to go away. Ross also found a bug report for metacity, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126571 that might be related. It might also be something we are not doing quite right in opening a window that happens to bite metacity more than other wms. If anyone has the time and energy to pursue this please do.
