The submitter's address is invalid.

I am keeping the bug open since it very probably still applies to Xorg
(the BackingStore code didn't change for a while, and is still slow but
also buggy). Upstream bug #6663
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6663) is about rewriting
it based on Composite.
