Which version of kwm were you running? --- I´ve installed the Dec. 12th
KDE snapshot on my system an I´ve found the following entry in Matthias´
changelog for kwm:

       - on fast X-Servers the resize animation sometimes left a tiny
         rectangle: fixed                                          

Doesn´t this sound rather similar to your problem description? ;-) 

So if you´ve tried to install KDE Beta2 on your friend´s machine you could
try using a more recent kwm and see if the problem is already fixed.

Hope this helps!

     Christian
