I have this bug too. I have a Sony Vaio Z1 with a 16MB ATI Radeon M6 LY chipset. The current ATI driver produces artifacts on some of the buttons in various apps, mainly Evolution, Pan and J-Pilot (J-Pilot is the most severe). Running the display at 24 bit results in feezes which can only be cured with a hard reset. I originally reported this as an evolution fault, but it is obviously an ATI driver issue. After dropping the colour depth, the artifacts remain, but the system has not frozen once.
