Bug Description
I have a fully updated Maverick-AMD-64 alfa-2 installation with gnome-shell (gnome3-session).
So I use clutter and mutter too.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UP4
Graphics card: NVidia GTX285
After upgrading libcairo2 (1.9.10-1ubuntu1) I noticed some serious rendering issues.
This seems to affect more certain themes, like human-theme.
Certain color blends render incorrectly, for example:
- scroll bars in application windows become fully white, with no color blends,
- same happens to text buttons (in Synaptic for example).
This is reproducible by customizing a theme and choosing "human" or "human-clearlooks" controls.
I also noticed, using synaptic for instance, pressing the reload button, the loading bar fails to show blending colors.
The upper area of the bar is completely white.
I used to have a lucid-AMD-64 installation with xorg-edgers PPA.
There too I had these issues with libcairo2-1.9.10 package.
See the bug #596192.
The package libcairo2_
The color blend issue still remains.
This also applies to the new libcairo2 package (1.9.12-1)
It may, however, very well be, that many of the rendering issues with the new libcairo2 are in fact issues in several other "stable" applications, like GTK-themes, using cairo application programming interface (API).
This being the case, we are in fact seeing these issues only now because of the new libcairo2 package.

is that a duplicate of bug #596192?
