What hardware are you on? Specifically, what graphics chipsets and drivers do you have? If you have a variety of hardware on different systems, do they all demonstrate the same behavior or are some doing different things? KDE 3.5 or so had a couple of redraw quirks with open-source drivers -- some turned up in Konqueror and others in menus and panels. Some of the problems were unique to ATI open-source drivers/hardware combinations and some were unique to certain builds of the nVidia drivers. I suspect you might be running into one of the magic combinations that can cause this, but I'm not sure (been a while since KDE3 where I work). Anyway, with some more system information we might be able to research the situation a bit better.
