Yup, I noticed that right off, too. Thought it was just me -- if I
bring up a linux problem on the lists, it's usually just me, apparently.
As to the cause, I have no idea. It may have something to do with the
.png alpha, but I'd vote for problems involving Compiz. I haven't tried
rendering to a different format or even turning Compiz off. To be
honest, I just got annoyed and started booting into Windows to use Pov.
I think I'll give to two above options a shot later today.
