It is not apparent to me as to what action is causing this - initially it
happened when moving the mouse over the kde panel, it has also happened while
scrolling pages in Firefox.

Bug has only occured since yum update, today.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.2.0-3 was installed today.


How reproducible:

The more things going on on the screen, the more likely it is to happen.


Steps to Reproduce:

Make the screen busy.  And wait for an inconvenient moment.
