All versions of xf86-video-nouveau (0.0.16_pre20100615, 0.0.16_pre20100807, 0.0.16_pre20100819, 0.0.16_pre20101010) show corrupt icons in the taksbar and Alt+Tab windows. Some taskbar icons may also have corrupt borders on their tooltips. This particular error did not occur with the nv driver. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Not all icons are corrupted all the time. But after using the session for a while, some usually are. Typically half of them. Seems like Konqueror icons are more often affected. Its icons change when changing website. Problem happens less often (maybe never) wit a simple icon like Konsole. Actual Results: See attached screenshot for an example. Expected Results: Icons look right. # emerge -pv plasma-workspace xorg-server These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

This (long standing) bug is fixed in the upcoming 2.6.37 kernel
Reporter: can you check if it is actually fixed in kernel 2.6.37?
The corruption in the taskbar and Alt+Tab window was already gone before I upgraded to Linux 2.6.37. Must have been fixed by some earlier upgrade of Linux, Mesa or some other package. But I still have garbage in the second icon from the left in the window title bar. The first icon seems fine (window menu). The second, broken, icon is the one that toggles whether the window should be on each desktop (sticky). I use the style called "KDE 2" in the control center. The preview there looks fine, just the decorations of actual windows do not.
