dirt on the desktop

Hi there,
I'm running kubuntu 6.10 with kde 3.5.
When I'm moving icons on my desktop, some dirt graphics remain on the Desktop as you see in the attachment.
Is that normal? Or can I tweak kde somewhere?

This is you graphic card problem (maybe driver related).

hm,
I'm have a radeon 9600 with the newest ati-driver version 8.31.
I'm wondering because I had no problems with gnome.

Does this happen when dragging items on desktop?
What happens if you use radeon driver (opensource) instead of fglrx?

Yes it happens when dragging on the desktop and it also happens with the radeon-driver. (I think I'm using the opensource-driver)
I appended my xorg.conf

My previous graphic card was a radeon 9600 pro and it was working fine, try to enable renderaccel:
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Also remove comment out other non-vital lines like:
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"

Also you have duplicated entries, did you use aticonfig for configuring xorg.conf? Next time don't it messes up you xorg.conf
Instead use other X configuration tool like sax2 or whathever your distro has.
