My experience was that when hovering over the icons in the pop-out menus some of them would have the interlaced problem as shown in previous screenshots, and that any window opened by clicking the icon would be completely interlaced (and un-usable). Installing dri-conf and disabling texture tiling solved it for me. I'm so happy I can use it again!
