The only program I've seen bitten is aterm (aterm.sourceforge.net) with
its tinted, transparent background. When X is triggered right, aterm
leaves small horizontal slivers untinted whenever it draws. The flaws have
a somewhat random distribution, but they all seem to fall in a 3 pixel
_underline_ range.

The bug needs direct rendering on, and gets toggled on when I run a 3d
accelerated program (or afterstep's WinList). It gets toggled off when I
change the root window; xv or asetroot suffice here.
This problem has been around from at least 4.1.0 up to recent CVS.

I first saw this bug when I switched over from an Athlon + VIA chipset to
a PentiumIII + i815. The slivers appear with both my 2000 and 3000 Voodoo3
AGP cards. 

I am currently running Linux 2.4.16 + XFree WeekOldCVS
