Hey.... So sorry for the massive delay in my response. It's amazing how busy you can get, and how emails get lost.
In answer to your question - no... I do not use ati hardware. However, I have since updated my dapper to edgy, the problem no longer occurs. It was probably just a chance package configuration that for some reason had the peculiar side-effect of rendering the folders as in the screenshot. It is quite unsettling that it happened, but, since I can no longer reproduce it, probably not important. Thankyou for your *prompt* and friendly response.
