Topmost Pixel Line Shifted

Hi!

Please have a look at this screenshot of my desktop taken by a digital camera. Notice that the topmost line is shifted to the right? I'm not shure, but I think this is since I upgraded to modular X. When taking a shot with KSnapshot, the shift isn't there. X packages are up-to-date, using nv driver.

Any idea what's going on here?

Perhaps a problem with your monitor? If ksnapshot is showing something different than what you see, then that'd be what I'd check first. See if you can find a non-X way to check things. If you have another monitor try hooking that up. If you have another OS, try that. If not, try something from the console outside of X if possible. Or try to boot a knoppix CD.

Actually, I see that from time to time with KDE as well.

I have no idea what causes it, and I think it also happened for me when I switched to modular X.

I goes away sometimes, so I was not too concerned myself.

I just tested and the effect doesn't appear when using VMware or booting another OS.
I think VMware uses X too? So it might be an KDE problem.

Something else that I noticed now: the arrow in my screenshot is the one that appears when switching desktops... but I only have one desktop activated. It shows up since I activated four desktops and turned them off some time later. The arrow now always shows up then moving the cursor to an edge :?:
