Ok. Same behaviour here (not solved).

Are you using nvidia proprietary driver? If so, and you switch to 'nv' driver
problem is gone, isn't?

Xgl does not have this problem... 

I use fvwm, so that's not an gnome related issue (furthermore, I use kde
based apps, and that weird behaivour also is reproducing)...

Are you using Xorg modular?
