As a test, I changed my netscape to use TTF, and loaded
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/zh-s-html/CDROM-HOWTO-2.html, and
swifted workspace (Helix-GNOME/Sawfish) sometimes, Netscape
then cease to re-draw its window, while the other part of
the system works well, but Netscape finally got to work
again, and with /bin/top on a gnome-terminal, I could see
Netscape's back when xfs-xtt drops from the toppest of the
list.

Then I substitute Netscape with Mozilla (M15) on the above
test, after I switched to another workspace running /bin/top,
and back, Mozilla ceased to re-draw its window, and after I
switched to see the /bin/top output, after the xfs-xtt drops,
strangly, XF86_SVGA raises up, and the X Window ceased to 
response to my request, though I could still see /bin/top
running just as well, but I cannot even kill it from
X, then I tried to swith to console, failed, weird, then I
could only reboot after nearly 10min. which caused a terrible
fsck session on my HD. ;)
