Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I just starting using Gnome and I think it has tweaked a problem with
my nvidia card (Gforce GT 220). The problem appears most in emacs and
xterm. When I start typing about every other character does not
render and a box appears instead. If I use ctrl-l in emacs the redraw
corrects the display. In xterm if I just wait 5-10 seconds or hit
carriage return the display corrects.
I think this is a problem in Gnome's interaction with the video card
because I do not see the same behavior in fvwm.
