Hi,
it's NVidia bug, lot of people complaints about it but we can't do anything as
it's proprietary driver :-(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533620
There are two solution - if you don't rely on 3D - use nouveau driver instead
closed one. 2D speed is nice, better than closed but no 3D yet.
If you need 3D and/or closed driver (VPDAU is nice too) try XOrg but without
xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch. There's scratch build in Koji (see
comment #13).

Another mitigation is to use the traditional rather than the Kickoff
menu. I am seeing this with nouveau as well, but I installed from the
nvidia installer, and I believe it may have borked by X. Will try
again with F12 final.
