The nvidia driver is non-free software that is not in fedora and we don't have it's source code.
Can't fix.
You might want to try nouveau, the free, open source driver for nvidia cards which is default in fedora.

I filed bug here because it specific to xorg-x11-server 1.10.x, no such problem in 1.9.x so problem maybe not in nvidia driver.
See bug 533620 it was closed as CANTFIX but then xorg-x11-server was fixed.
Comment 3 nucleo 2011-05-21 00:36:30 UTC 
Workaround is running Konsole with

'konsole --notransparency'
