Last time I saw it (I had a SGI O2 on a desk and ran balsa remotely 
from a linux box), I think I traced it to empty/full mailbox icons. My 
first guess there was a bug either SGI X server or, well, GDK code. I 
disabled these icons at that time but since I did not use the box much, 
I had no enough time to come up with a proper workaround for the 
problem.
