That's most likely a bug in your video card driver.
Or Windows, but the driver is more likely.

background info:
when you move a window over another window, on Vista and later the video
driver has to store the pixel info of each window and restore them
properly. In previous Windows versions, Windows kept track of that and
sent every Window/dialog refresh messages so they know to redraw.
With the introduction of Aero in Vista, those redraw/refresh messages
are not sent anymore because the video driver has should store the
pixels of each window/dialog and restore them automatically so the
windows/dialogs don't have to redraw that often.

Nothing wrong in TSVN or Trilian here: TSVN does not get the refresh
message (you're using Vista) but the video card does not store the
pixels properly.
