Hi
I've been having troubles with my desktop which seem to conicide with the security updates which were downloaded a few days ago.
The desktop components (panels, drive and launcher icons, application windows, etc) disappear every 3-5 seconds and then reappear following some disk activity (almost as if the desktop is being reloaded from disk)
The wallpaper remains, as does Conky. If I'm working in a text input box or dialogue, that redraws first.
Interestingly I also have VirtualBox OSE - if I run my XP session within that in full screen mode, the screen stays up - if running in windowed form it has the same problems.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Anything I can check to provide more info?
Thanks
