I discovered the reason behind this problem.  In my home, I often use my
netbook (the machine running GNU Emacs 23.4) connected to a big external
display by VGA output.  Today, I used the LVDS screen and guess you what
happened?  The problem disappeared.  This seems consistent with the problem only
showing up under X frames of Emacs.  I'm now wondering why it's
happening only when I connect to the external screen.  The only thing I
could think is the stretch transformation rule that I have configured by
xrandr as follow:

xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 
--scale 1x0.78125 --auto

Any idea?  It could be a bug in Emacs?
