It seems that the problem is the redraw of the canvas. What happens is that when a menu is drawn and part of it gets on the canvas, the canvas needs to be cleared after the menus gets closed, and the clearing of the canvas causes a momentarily visible and very ugly black rectangle. This is with a completely empty canvas so it doesn't have to do with the complexity of the graphics. I don't think it has to do with the icons either really ... Also, I'm running the latest development build. My system has 2gb of ram and AMD 4000+ processor, so there shouldn't really be any visible redraw effects especially with an empty canvas.
On an AMD 1600Mhz laptop, I get a black rect flashing even with empty canvas - but it's really flashing momentarily, pretty hard to notice. I don't know if this is what you are seeing or not - the definition of "ugly" is very subjective :)
