It iseems I have some gl tuning to perform. ~amd64 and intel video card are in
use. Thoughts?


I have the same problem, when running a full-screen game any pop-ups
(like new mail notifications, etc) well cause chaos...

So, I just make sure to close programs that cause pop-ups while
playing my game :) I think it must be related to the KDE4 desktop
effect, because it didn't happen before then.


Hmm, pop-ups do cause chaos, but the problem the OP described (program 
on another desktop causing graphical glitches) does not occur here. 
AMD64 with an ATI Radeon 4870 here.  KDE 4 effects are on.

More simple and more exciting :-) - just have started glxgears and switched a 
desktop - glxgears' canvas is visible on any desktop!!

OK, that's definitely a driver problem.  It seems the driver does not 
support accelerated 3D while compositing (Desktop Effects) is enabled.
