The third post in this thread on Ubuntu forums:

 Re: Graphics problem-video-blinking
Jahkob,

Try the following:

On the top tool bar select "System".
Then select "Preferences".
Then select "Appearance"
Then select "Visual Effects"
Then select "NONE"
Then "CLOSE"

This will disable any fancy visual effects for the desktop, but this worked for 
me. I tested this with both VLC and Movie Player with DVD and AVI movies, and 
it worked like a charm.

This is not a solution but should get you by until a fix can be found.

=================

did fix this (bug).  Don't know why other apps worked as normal, but KMail 
didn't ??

As the poster stated, "This is not a solution but should get you by until a fix 
can be found."

At least KMail looks and works 'normally' again.

Thanks to everyone for your help,

Peter
