[Problem]
After upgrading to mesa 7.6 (from a mesa git snapshot from mid-August), 1-pixel wide artifacts are displayed on the screen. These disappear on screen repaints.

[Original Description]
Starting today, Oct 8, with Kwin compositing active, I get 1-pixel wide artifacts all over the screen. When a window disappears, the very right-most and bottom-most lines of it remain. Sometimes when scrolling in Konqueror, a line from somewhere else in the web page will "stick" at the bottom of the web view (above the status bar). The bouncy cursor icon when launching a new application leaves bits of itself behind.

All of these artifacts disappear when that part of the screen is repainted (e.g. moving a window over the area, activating the present windows effect).

Didn't happen before rebooting this morning, so I'm suspecting mesa 7.6.0.
