Description Paulo Cesar 2008-07-17 04:32:15 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When a Java application is active, the entire panel start to show big glitches, like plasmoids disappearing and strange artifacts appearing.

It happened with Netbeans 6 and with Eclipse.

I uploaded a screenshot here:

Notice that I'm using "Elegant" theme, and compositing is on (opengl), but this happens with Oxygen theme as well

upstream video driver issues.

So, it's invalid, but how did I get rid of it? It's pretty annoying having to work with that bug

any tips?
