There is a bug filed against gtk2, but now I really think that it is UXA.  I
tried downgrading gtk2 back to Apr 23 version but no change.  Switched xorg.conf
to EXA and problem is gone.

 14 Section "Device"
 15         Identifier  "intel_device"
 16         Driver      "intel"
 17         Option "Monitor-VGA"    "2407WFP-right"
 18         Option "Monitor-TMDS-1" "2407WFP-left"
 19         Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
 20 EndSection

Added line 19 above to xorg.conf.

Cry.
