Small Visual problem (new Xorg???) [SOLVED]

After my last system update the following visual thing happen when I move an icon. Inside a folder a refresh is enough to clear it. On the Desktop I have to move a window above it. Have anyone noticed something like that? I know that it is a minor problem but it is really annoying. Any suggestions?

Used to have that before, not sure how I cleared it, but it worked.

What WM are you using?  The problem tended to occur when I had BERYL and XFCE4.  Changing the themes/styles in the WM and restarting X worked for me!

I use KDE without Beryl.

I removed the following option from the xorg.conf video card (nvidia FX5200) section and it fixed the problem. I can't remeber what was the purpose of this option...

Option "backingstore" "true"
