Can't help you I'm afraid, but does the linux alpha client work OK? I really prefer that myself, apart from for uploads.

The only reference to that I found on the web seems to suggest it can occur if your graphics drivers are not running properly accelerated drivers.

Here is what I wrote about the ATI drivers (which I don't use personally) on another thread:

1) Make sure glx is working properly. (glxinfo)

2) run: LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo

or LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose aticonfig

(aticonfig is the replacement for fglrxinfo so you will only have one of them)

(make sure it is loading the ATI version and nor the Mesa libraries)

If glxinfo says

direct rendering: No

or your ATI drivers are loading the Mesa rather than the ATI openGL implementation, you need to try reinstalling your drivers...

Edit: by the way, I get sort of full screen in the Linux version at 1024x768 and moving the window so the tab is invisible, and I use my script for streaming sound and video, so I am just missing ambient sounds and uploads.
