Screenshot #1

Description of problem:
while working with F11 for some 2-3 days without the restart the characters in all GNOME windows become messed and looks like they are being replaced with some other random characters (see screenshot in attachment). It usually starts from Firefox but then "infects" all the other windows. 

The system was upgraded from F10.

OS restart make all the things working fine again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -a
Linux opera 2.6.29.1-102.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Mon Apr 20 15:18:57 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# rpm -qa | sortno
(see attachment)

How reproducible:
Occurring regularly 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to F11 Beta from F10
2. Give some for the system to work without restart (2-3 days)
3. Check out the most used applications (in my case - gnome-terminal and firefox) start to messes the characters on their windows.
  
Actual results:
Problem is still present

Expected results:


Additional info:
The suspicion is also that is started to occur after I installed/enabled Qemu, but I cannot distinguish that because I did that right after I performed the upgrade.
