JFTR: I experienced this bug definitely on my EeePC 701 4G with kernel
3.4 (currently 3.4.4-1~experimental.1) from the moment it hit Debian
Experimental until I switched to sna, i.e. for months.

Using sna had strange side-effects like wrong tint colors in urxvt:
blue, cyan and 100% transparency instead of 50%, i.e. clear instead of
shaded. After X start I always had blue, after adding another screen
via xrandr, I got 100% transparency, after removing that screen again,
I had cyan.

So far I haven't noticed any font corruption since the switch to sna,
also not after suspend to RAM (which was suspected somewhere else to
trigger the corruption).

  Regards, Axel
