Hi Benjamin. This is the first I've heard of this bug, so I'll try to take a look at it as soon as I can.

Please note that just checking for the NV-CONTROL extension is not sufficient, because some screens may be using the NVIDIA driver while others use different drivers. If the extension exists, you can use XNVCTRLIsNvScreen to query if a given screen is using the NVIDIA driver. However, please don't do that. I'd much rather just fix the driver if it's broken then have a driver-specific workaround in place that we need to get rid of eventually.
