I've had the same issue on gnome-terminal after using ffmpeg. (kernel
2.6.39; nvidia driver on 9800 GTX)

My software never contains bugs, it just develops random features.

2.6.39 kernels. However it happens only with xterm and rxvt, but never with
GTK-based roxterm and Terminal. Yesterday I've installed 3.0 kernel, and so
