Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Don't know if this is an evolution bug, a GTK bug, or an X bug, but I
only experience it with evolution on intrepid.  It started happening
yesterday.  Start to compose a new message and start typing in the body
of the message.. the text will show up in 3 places, where it should, on
the top row offset by about 2 inches, and at the bottom of the screen
offset by about 2 inches.  Each keystroke seems to fix it for a split
second and then it corrupts again. Covering the compose window and
exposing it again doesn't cause the body widget (and only the body
widget) to refreash.  I'll post a screenshot.  I'd suspect a GTK or an
EXA bug, but I -only- experience this with evolution, and -only- in the
compose message body widget... everything else seems fine.

Again, this worked fine until yesterday, but I update infrequently, so
this could have happened anytime in the past week or so.

In the screenshot, you can see the obvious non-updating when a windows
appeared over top of it, but the text I typed was 'this is a test', but
you'll see that text 3 times in three different parts of the widget.

Hardware: 
Macbook Pro radeon X1600
'ati' driver
EXA acceleration
metacity, no compiz running.
