AFAIK it was caused by a bug in XFree86, it was later fixed in Xorg. I don't think there is an easy work around. The bug you mentioned seems to be about the screenshot feature in the installer. Instead see #275091, #231076 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125048 -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
