Yes, I see this regularly using KDE under FC4 (fully updated). I
assumed hardware since it looks like memory corruption, but an 18-hour
memtest86 shows no problems. I figured it might be my video card (even
though it works for playing Win2k games), but since you see it too, I
guess not.
Sometimes I'm able to fix it with switching to a text vt & back, but
sometimes nothing works and I have to hit the reset button. (I don't
have another machine at home from which to try to ssh in.)

mine:
FC4 x86_64 final
(upgraded, admittedly, from FC4t3, where I also saw this problem)
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (Nforce3)
Athlon64 3000+, Venice core
GeForce 6800 (by Gigabyte)
1.5 GB of ram (also happened when I had 1GB)
nv module
I am only just now updating the xorg update packages that were released
(today?) -- let's see if the problem doesn't reappear.
