iirc the install was a gnome devel iso, my best guess was it was a "settings" issue residual from the gnome install, not a "software or hardware" issue, i'm guessing it installed some rogue setting value such that the root window would never be exposed/refreshed, however i no longer use that

perhaps the trigger is when the system boots up with a system time which preceeds the prior bootup. this sort of thing happens because of bug#1335522. and that would explain why it happened this time. imho such time discrepancy should not trigger full lengthy filesystem checks. i think this
