I have this behavior as well, with my compaq presario 1247 laptop, which uses a trident cyberblade/i7 vid card. I am very suspicious that this is an anomaly with the xf86 trident drivers, as I've had reports of similar behavior with other trident iN cards. I have also stfw thoroughly with no results. In my experience, the "shift" seems to happen during periods of high window change activity - minimizing, restoring, changing focus, etc. I've experienced this with enlightenment, which I currently use, as well as afterstep, windowmaker, flwm, epiwm, and probably others which escape my recollection; this leads me to believe it's not a wm-specific issue. This happens with a variety of pointing devices as well. I've been itching to go into the trident driver code and see if I could spot something, but I haven't found the time as yet. I will, however, try the SWCursor option.
