Bug#596781: xserver-xorg-video-intel: window corruption when passing over xfig, xmgrace, and xpaint (and probably more) windows

[Carlo Segre <segre@iit.edu>]

Hello:

I have more information on the problem.

1. The same problem exists on amd64 as well with both the August kernel 
and the one which came through the archive this morning

Linux hydride 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 14 20:16:12 UTC 2010 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

2. The problem is due to the latest xorg intel driver since I just 
installed it this morning on the amd64 side of my machine and upon 
restarting of X, the corruption, which was not present previously, started 
showing itself.

3. I downgraded to xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-4_amd64.deb on the amd64 
side and the corruption problem disappeared.  All other packages are the 
same and up to the latest version in sid.

By the way, I am running xfce4 4.6.2.  I have not tried this with gnome or 
kde.

Carlo
