Bug Description

As described upstream in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24310, emacs -mm doesn't redraw the "window" (as in the window manager) the way it should: the modeline is scrambled, and half the window is missing. emacs -fs is working though. I experienced it with emacs -Q in gnome-shell. Upstream advises to compile Emacs without Cairo support.

Hi Julien
The Cairo support was only just added in today's build at my suggestion, for testing. I expect it to be reverted in the next daily build though. I too am experiencing severe rendering issues with it, so the feature is as of now still very experimental.

The next builds fixed this problem indeed.
