Bill, you seems to be using Ubuntu 8.04, upgrading to 9.10 (which has mesa 7.6) should fix this.
Comment 3 Bill Mitchell 2009-11-10 15:18:06 UTC 
Re Comment #2, Thanks. I re-downloaded GoogleEarthlinux.bin from http://earth.google.com/intl/en/download-earth.html, and see that it still "Google earth for GNU/linux 5.1.3509.4636", which contains the bug. I dug around a bit on earth.google.com but could not find a way to report the problem to them.
Comment 4 Tormod Volden 2009-11-11 06:15:47 UTC 
Bill, the bug is not in the googleearth package (from Google) but in the mesa library shipped with Ubuntu 8.10.
Comment 5 Bill Mitchell 2009-11-11 17:22:28 UTC 
Re Comment #4, from my perspective the problem is that the Google Earth package for Linux available for download at earth.google.com includes a version of the Mesa library which contains a bug when a later version of the Mesa library with the bug fixed is available.
