My first thought would be to check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and see if
you are loading the xrender module.

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

Load "dbe"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "Xrender" <-----------this?
#Load "pex5"
#Load "record"
#Load "xie"

Thanks for the suggestion. I added Xrender to the file but, I regret, it has not cured the problem.
