Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
The problem is:
Such artifacts appear everywhere: around the windows, in the windows. I tried fglrx driver and xf86-video-ati driver for my 5770, but I have the same result on both (of course, compositing doesn't works on ati driver). I tried to install KDE at first from kdebase package, and from full kde package - nothing help

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
Do you have the same problem if you run any other window manager?

No, just KDE. And I haven't the same problem on Kubuntu

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
I would first try to clean the kde config files.

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
I apologize for misundestanding but... what black boxes do you mean? The only one I can see in your image is the one at the top part of the menu... but I use the classic menu, so I don't know if it's the way it should look.
Do you mean any other black or gray box?

Yes, and there're the same boxes around and in the windows. They appear ramdomly
I made the clean install of KDE and it became OK 
KDE rocks

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
Same problem here, but a reinstall didn't fix the problem.
Is there anything new on this?

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
I have the same problem on Kubuntu 10.04. It is using KDE 4.4.2 and ATI driver 10.6 (current) The problem started when I switched to the ATI driver. I notice it with GTK apps the most, especially Thunderbird. Perhaps if you can post the version of the ATI driver you are using we can start to work out what is affected.

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
I think the opensource driver fixes this.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 87#p794787 <- OP uses Gtk, so it may not be DE-related.

Re: Gray/black boxes in KDE 4.4.5
It does seem to be an ATI driver issue in version 10.6. This has fixed it for me in Kubuntu (Thanks Arch people. I might give it a go...)
