Fedora 16 Gnome Terminal Redraw Doesn't Always Completely Render

I've noticed an issue on my Fedora 16 workstation where Gnome Terminal redraws don't always completely render.

For example, it could be as simple as pressing the up arrow key to scroll through the CLI history (or ESC K for the 'set -o vi' crowd). A good percentage of the time when I'd do that, the command line wouldn't completely render, CTRL C and scrolling again usually cleared it up.

I also experienced the behavior a lot when in VI. Scroll or jump to a line and the text would end up being a combination of the previous page and the new location.

I experienced the issue using Nouveau and binary Nvidia drivers.

The following Bugzilla ticket provided a possible workaround. I've only just implemented the ENV variables, but after 1 day of use I have yet to experience the issue, where as before it was pretty consistent.

To globally apply the settings, add the following variables to end of /etc/gdm/Xsession

# Attempting to fix the Gnome terminal redraw issue:
# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720605
export CLUTTER_DEBUG=disable-culling
export CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling

Reboot, log back in and hopefully the issue goes away :-)
