No. It does not help. Text, icons and menus are still not displayed at
all. LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 degraded 3D rendering performance to 13 FPS
in full screen.

Just want to note that I had working wheezy desktop machine which got
unusable after 'apt-get upgrade'. Can we get the same default
functionality we had before the upgrade? It was running fine with Gnome
Classic, but now it does not.
