Opera scrolling problem in flash

Hi,

I am using opera 9.6 . The flashplayer from pacman and libflashsupport-oss( i use oss v.4.1) seems to work well with it ( without any crash so far ) . However, a tiny glitch has become my headache. When I go browse a site that relies heavily on flash ( for example , like harrypotter.com ) , scrolling the page vertically creates horizontal rectangles of varying size and scrolling the page horizontally creates vertical rectangles of varying size.

See http://i37.tinypic.com/2s9d1rm.gif for a better explanation . Do you notice the grayed part below the address bar ? That's it. I see these below the address bar and above the horizontal scroll bar .

I am running compiz but I think it has nothing to do with it since it happened before I had compiz . I tried flash player 10 beta and opera 9.52 too but the problem persisted. I am running 32bit arch with 1 GB ram. My video card is intel 945 GC integrated gpu. Can anybody clarify why this is happening and offer a solution to it ?

This is my xorg.conf :

And i get this sometimes when I run opera on a shell :

(<unknown>:4957): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

When I close opera after getting that error :

opera: Plug-in 6090 is not responding. It will be closed.
opera: Define environment variable OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN to keep blocked plug-ins.
