Just the 'Floating Feet', I love it ;).... (just 2D, not linked to any
libGL...).
Anyways, I have just remembered I use the (in)famous nVidia driver.
Will try to reproduce without it. This was more like a probe to see if
somebody else is suffering it...

The nVidia driver will get some truly astounding indigestion if you accidentally
upgrade your xorg userspace libraries and forget to re-install the nVidia
userspace.  Is that what's biting you?

No, in my distro (mandriva), libraries and drivers from ndivia are in different
places so they don't get overriden in xorg reinstall. Use is controlled
with ld.so.conf and ModulePath.
In fact, X works fine until the saver plays on...
