Afterword:
In the beginning I thought that the foul colours were caused by Ati's proprietary fglrx driver, but when I switched back to software - nada. Still garbled. Same garbling also appears when setting the menu transparency to software (XRender works fine). Any suggestions?
My specs:
PIV 2,4GHz, Ati Radeon 9500Pro (Hercules brand), 512MB RAM (DDR333). I'm using Debian Sid and 2.6.5 kernel w/Debian patches. KDE 3.2.2.

Oh, ok.
