New Mandelbrot wallpaper in playground, triggers some bugs

Here are the steps to reproduce:

-set mandelbrot as your wallpaper
-minimize all windows, close plasma toolboxes (e.g. the panel toolbox)
-navigate through the wallpaper (e.g. mouse wheel)

I still have the glitches with latest trunk; also, if i enable desktop
effects I get glitches also in the dashboard (while without desktop
effects the dashboard view is oK).

This is with proprietary nvidia driver 169.12.

Cheers,
Benoit
