Nope.

There's bugs about this in bugzilla, XFree86 4.x users seem to be
affected still.

Usually, switching the desktop background to a plain colour fixes the
issue.

Actually, that's more of a FAQ question -- adding it to the

that we can't manually work around.

...and personally, i'd prefer to see no distribution-installed apps than
two or three copies of them.
