I haven't looked at your samples. It sure does sound like a color depth
problem. Does it begin to occur when you run color hungry app like
netscape, xearth, or gimp? 

I had this happen in 256 color mode running the above apps. It was
exactly like you describe it.

You said it is not a color depth problem. What is your color depth? Did
you redefine "DefaultColorDepth" (if i recall) in /etc/XF86Config ?

Now about those aliens...
