This problem exists in the code released with Ubuntu 7.10.

I have seen scattered reports of this all around the net.  It seems that
recent versions of Gimp use new XOR code that reveal a problem with the
driver for ATI Radeon VE/7000 RV100 cards.

Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/156556

I will attach screenshot, conf, and logs.

well, I just confirmed three hours ago that this problem still exists in

Reopening.

What exactly is the problem here?  Is it a particular tool in GIMP, or
just GIMP in general?  Also can you attach your xorg log and config? Do
any of the following options help?

Option "RenderAccel" "FALSE"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"

The various linked bug reports strongly suggest it only occurs when
using XAA.

  I think it may be related to composite.

  Try adding

Section "Extensions"
    Options "Composite" "disable"
EndSection

to xorg.conf

But the problem seems to be related to some ati cards.

There are various workarounds.  Decreasing importance.

/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/156556 confirms this to be still present
in Intrepid.  xserver-xorg seems to be at version 1:7.4~5ubuntu3 in
Intrepid.

Closing as WONTFIX; XAA is too far gone these days. If EXA does not
work, file a new bug or attach yourself to an existing bug matching your
issues.

For this particular bug, I'd say that re-opening is fine if it still
happens with EXA.
