An update on this, since I've had a bit more chance to play with it on my system. Interestingly, the problem disappeared when I turned on sub-pixel font rendering in the Gnome preferences - anyone seeing this kind of problem might want to try doing the same... see if it works for them too. Not sure how to explain it - perhaps changing this setting means fonts get rendered via a different mechanism, just as turning RenderAccel off does. Simon.
