Bug Description
First the good: I like it a lot! Round board edges a eye-soothing.
There is one issue though. Maybe it is specific to my machine (Intel mobile 945GM).
When 'display copper thickness' is not enabled and the board is rotated to any angle other than 90°, the graphics get messed up. It seems the viewer can't decide whether to draw the copper plane or the pcb material.

Application: Pcbnew
Version: (2013-10-04 BZR 4365)-product
Build: wxWidgets 2.8.12 (no debug,Unicode,
Platform: Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK
Boost version: 1.54.0
As the problem is gone when the copper thickness is displayed, I suspect the error might go away if there is a minute vertical offset between the copper and the board - i.e. letting the copper plane hover above the board ever so slightly.
