Thanks to all those who emailed and offered their suggestions.=20

In a fit of rage, I re-installed the whole machine and the problem was
still there.  I then looked into the xorg configuration file and
decided to nuke my old one and re-create a new one.  Changing the
driver for my graphics card from the ati driver to the radeon driver
and reducing the color to 16 made the problem go away. =20

So, that's the solution in so far as I see it... I maybe wrong.  If I
am, I'll post another message. =20

*sigh* Back to do some real work now.
