This looks like a dup of bug 305970.

Do you also see this the first time you start a Drag & Drop operation?

I hadn't tried drag-n-drop before, but yes it happens there too (to customize the toolbars).  So it looks like my bug report is a dup of bug 305970.  Sorry that my searching didn't find it.  Although I'm accustomed to building linux kernels and a large variety of applications (I'm an old Unix geek and C programmer), I've never bothered building mozilla/firefox/thunderbird from scratch, but if there's anything I can do to help track down the problem, please don't hesitate to ask.

Marking duplicate per reporter's comments.

Currently no-one seems to have a clear idea what could have caused this effect, so if you have any clues, feel free to add them to bug 305970.
