I tend to believe that it's indeed a graphics problem outside of the
Hamster applet. After googling and tweaking my xorg.conf the redraw
problems seem to have gone away. To be exact these additional X.org
settings have helped remedy the situation:

    Option         "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    Option         "UseCompositeWrapper" "true"
    Option         "NoLogo" "true"
    Option         "backingstore" "true"
    Option         "TripleBuffer" "true"
    Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals"  "true"

Feel free to close the bug report if you can't reproduce the problem. And
thanks for your attention.
