are you sure that you didn't change the KDE from GRASS5beta8 times
to now? Actually I face the same problem in KDE only, using fvwm2
it is o.k.
Please see the FAQ for possible help:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/faq/index.html#problems
-> GRASS Monitor does not repaint when is was hidden by another window 

My problem is reduced by that, but not fully fixed for KDE. Seems
to be a KDE related problem (I have KDE 1.x, not tested 2.x yet).

Yours
