    Is because Fedora 11 use xorg-x11-drv-intel 2.7.0 instead of the 2.8 version.

    The 2.8 version fix all this!

    That's not a bug it's a feature: X11_3D_magic-eye mode ;¬)

    The 2.9 release notes mention many problem with 8* chips are fixed:

    ...
    Major fixes in 2.9.0 compared to 2.8.0
    ======================================
    * Multiple fixes to make the driver stable for 8xx chipsets, (855GM,
    865G, etc.). The 2.8 driver series was extremely unstable with many
    of these chipsets.

    That's because you use KDE in Catalan.

    Inkscape is buggier and slower with every new versions, I don't like that but have to live with some Inkscape specific glitch too. It is not always caused by graphic drivers, I got similar bugs with NVIDIA too.

    Not that this helps you much, but I ran in to something very similar with Hugin (also on Intel, Fedora 11). Though it was on an old laptop I don't use much so I forgot about it and never got around to filing a bug.

    Yes, it is very likely an Intel driver bug. I once encountered it when using Intel 2.7 driver with 945GM, the problem seemed to dissapear with driver 2.8 or newer.

    It might be far fetched, but check this out:

    I had the same problem with my intel card and kuickshow, and rebuilding imlib with this patch solved the problem.
