i've been using 64-bit wm for quite several years now, and while there 
have been (and are) annoying artifacts, i've never experienced 
anything to that extent. whatever comes close is awt and pointer 
hotspot (http://lists.windowmaker.org/dev/msg00251.html), but nothing 
of the sort you are describing. i'm currently apparently using 
something of a mix between carlos' (or something that was before it 
became carlos') sources and ubuntu's dated at about june 2008 (yes, 
1.5yrs old).

i do however fully realize that this doesn't get you further to any 
solution :)
