Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

There is occasional corruption of the screen when using a Sapphire
Radeon 4770 card with the open source radeon drivers. The takes the form
of a "chequered" effect, looking a bit like a chequer board. This is
most noticeable when the screen goes grey (eg when typing gksudo ..) but
can also be seen at other times eg in System Preferences , Appearance,
Theme, the icons for each theme show this. The menus in KeePassX are
corrupted.

The effect does not show when using the fglrx driver when the screen
goes grey, though the Theme icons do still show this same corruption. An
attachment shows a screenshot of the grey screen effect.
