Just curious and to make things clearer: are both of you (Richard and Christos) also using NVidia proprietary driver ?
Hi,
FYI: I'm using the nouveau driver - desktop effects (XRENDER) enabled - and haven't seen any of the mentioned issues. Can it be that it's the proprietary driver which is making trouble? If so, ask on the NVIDIA mailing list [1] if others have the same issues.
Btw. Have you tried the vesa driver. It gives you a rather bad experience (:-)) but at least you can test desktop effects (also XRENDER).

Do we need a new thread to call this to the right people's attention? Or should a bug be filed somewhere?
I don't know... we can try a new thread. This thread seemed to get a bit side- tracked earlier. I am not sure how / what bug report to file this againsts yet, as I don't have a reliable way to reproduce, and my evidences are mainly anectdotal (hence i wonder if anyone else experience it). But if you do file it please let us know and we can contribute reports.
I haven't had a chance to try the workaround. For some reason my system seems to be doing okay since I came in earlier today. I'll try the turning off -- turning on desktop effect when it gets worse.
