This behaviour happens in Blender 2.32 and on the previous version. You can see what happens on the attachement.

Happens also to me. Is this the bug #33218 again?
Are you using NVIDIA drivers? I used NVIDIA drivers, and after setting Option "HWCursor" "true" in /etc/X11/XF86Config in my graphics card section this was solved.
it's a centrino (intel graphics)
Still having this issue. I have an Intel on-board graphic card. Using i810 driver, and i830 for dri (in the kernel). glxinfo says : OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 852GM/855GM 20021115
Tried with HWCursor both to on and off, but it doesn't work.
I've found this here http://blender.org/modules/gfxdatabase/ "First of all: check your settings! Before reporting errors in performance or behaviour, make sure are not running Blender with incompatible OpenGL settings. Sometimes a system is tweaked for 3D games, which doesn't really match a 3D creation suite. Common issues are: - Wrong screendepth. Try switching to 16 bits, 24, or 32 bits. - Especially older Macs (and laptops) don't have sufficient video memory for full screen 3D. Use '1000s of colors' as screen setting - Don't use 'full scene antialiasing'. - X11: the antialiased cursors (mouse pointers) are drawn in OpenGL, and screw up other OpenGL programs. " check the last item :-(
Still here. The only solution for me is to disable accelerated graphics support... well, that's pretty bad (no accel. supp --> a lot of time for rendering and object manipulation). Unfortunately, I guess we've got to touch the source code of blender itself.
it's fine for me now, I've patched the kernel 2.6.8.1 to use the latest dri driver and am using xorg 6.8.0 (DRI wouldn't work without the kernel patch, I've heard maybe it will get into 2.6.9)
I can confirm this. I'm using the patch of bug #63436.
Ï'm having the same problem. I'm using blender 2.35, Xorg-x11 6.8.0 with a Matrox G400Max 32Mb gfx card. Xorg-x11 is using its own mga driver. My monitor is configured to 1600x1200@16bit. I have tried 8/16/24bit, and HWcursor on/off/true/false, nothing seem to help, besides disable DRI.

Yours seems a slightly different problem... the idea that is forming in my mind is that this is a Xdriver-related issue, and should be assigned to the x11 team too. anyway your screenshot is quite different from the attached one... Please also disable xfree86 dga (dunno if it helps) and upgrade to xorg 6.8.0-r3 & kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r4. PS: please attach your screenshot rather than link it so in the future a remote removal of that image won't prevent people to access the full bug history.

I'm running 6.8.0-r3. The same thing also exists with XFree 4.3.x, and Xorg 6.7.0, and older kernels (can't remember if it also happend with 2.4.x). dga is disabled, from /etc/X11/xorg.conf: SubSection "extmod" Option "omitxfree86-dga" EndSubSection
The same thing happens with vanilla kernel 2.6.9
