Mr. Puffy Chin and Mr. Striped Face

Please meet my two nemeses as of late, Mr. Striped Face and Mr. Puffy Chin. Mr. Striped Face has been haunting me and friends on and off for a while, often accompanied by his friend Mr. Striped Body. However for about 10 days their visits became very frequent. And Mr. Striped Body seems to get some pervert pleasure from displaying my IM window all over my avatar body.
Mr. Puffy Chin introduced himself to me about a year ago, making my face (and only my face) swell and my chin making Jay Leno green from envy. I got rid of Mr. Puffy Chin by adjusting various parts in my shape by one notch and re-save the shape. However during the recent attack of both, that does not help. Multiple rebaking gets rid of Mr. Striped Face, but after the next teleport he is back with a vengeance. Switching into a different shape sometimes gets rid of the nasty bugger, rebaking sometimes helps as well. Relogging drives Mr. Puffy Chin away as well - but not everytime. Usually simply waiting helps.
The two haunt me almost daily, costing me nerves, annoying me. I wish I could get rid of them, but even ritually cleaning the cache does not help. What's up? Anybody out there able to help me?

P.S. I should mention that my video card driver is unchanged for ages.

The only thing I can think of is a possible video card driver incompatibility. Are you still using Nicholaz's viewer? I am, and this hasn't happened to me.

As you know, I've oft reported the striped bug with both Windows and Mac machines, both with NVidia graphics. SL fixes it and breaks it on a regular basis. As for the chin? I'd swear that some of the contours on my avie have changed, though I can't prove it.

Reminds me of the time my ex-partner in SL saw my google chat window on my avatar's back. I was in trouble for days because he saw who I'd been chatting with. :) All water under the bridge now... but frustrating bug, for sure.

I say the culprit is the video card - such as a drive or it just hates SL, LOL
