[gentoo-user] Some corruption after gnome 2.30

I'm running amd64 and am getting some screen corruption, which i believe
coincided with the last gnome update. For example in firefox the address bar
or bookmarks toolbar buttons can go black then come good again and i can get
black bands when i scroll. revdep-rebuild hasnt helped. What should i try
next?

Hmm, maybe a GTK+ issue. I would try to re-emerge gtk+, xulrunner and
then firefox. If that doesn't help, try other X-Server versions.

I am also running amd64 and experienced gtk+ issues after the recent gnome
update.  In my case gtk icon sets were not working as specified in
~/.gtkrc-2.0, regardless what I set gtk-icon-theme-name to.  For example,
thunar refused to display any icons other than its fallback set.  Oddly
enough, this only happened on my desktop and not on my laptop, which has an
almost identical setup.

revdep-rebuild reported no issues, and re-emerging gtk+, thunar,
and gnome-icon-theme had no effect.  Last night I went with the nuclear
option (emerge -eav --keep-going world), and it solved the problem.

I am seeing it in gnome-terminal - corrupted and sometimes leftover buts
of text.  As well, when clicking the mouse will see a (usually) black
bock appear at the cursor - sometimes stays for a second or two.

3 systems, all x86 and started with gnome 2.30

I just tried emerge -e --keep-going gnome and it hasn't helped, so I guess
i'll try going nuclear...

Ok, i just tried emerge -e --keep-going world followed by revdep-rebuild and
lafilefixer and its still broken...

Any more suggestions? I'm assuming removing the ~/.gnome* directories would
not be useful in this instance.

I suppose this is the same problem as
<http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-837535.html>, in which case the easiest
workaround is to downgrade ati-drivers from 10.7 to 10.5 for now. It is not a
Gnome/GTK problem (or at least not directly, I don't know precisely).
