Dear Axel, thank you for your reply. I am putting Samuel back to CC and hope that it is fine with him to updated about our findings.

Although he did not tell me what commit since there have been more than hundreds of them in between. > No font corruption so far yet, but I wouldn't bet on it yet.

Although Chris Wilson noted that x11perf might suffer when using this option. Talking to Julian Cristau, one of the release managers, he told me that he does not consider this bug release critical and that if no fix is found Debian Wheezy will be released with this bug. Chris Wilson also noted that he tried to figure out the cause of this error for quite some time and did not find the reason for it. But let us hope for the best and be optimistic. > > Samual and Axel, maybe you can subscribe to the freedesktop.org Bugzilla > > ticket #36326. > > *sigh* I hate Bugzilla. Me too. I am still wondering if everyone uses the Web interface or if there are also some command line tools making it more bearable. > I subscribed to the Launchpad bug report.

Thanks, Paul PS: Axel, one unrelated question, what way did you use to reply to Samuel’s original report. `bts show --mbox 675734`, using the provided links to the mbox file on the bug report Web page with your browser or some other magic I do not know about?
