Bug#519221: libpixman -- bug recently submitted related to your patch

I don't understand how this could be a factor. I am well aware that
part of my screen is out of the 3D engine's domain, but this is not a
problem for me as I don't do anything that requires 3D acceleration.

The 2D acceleration engine supports a 4096x4096 desktop and I am well
within that limit. Also, I don't see why using a terminal emulator
should depend on 3D acceleration. Furthermore, this setup worked
perfectly before that pixman patch. If it is related to my 3D virtual
desktop size, why is it that an sse2 patch in pixman triggered the
problem?

I am using kde3 at the moment.

Thanks,
